Estate Planning for Families and Business Owners
An estate plan is one of the most valuable things you can leave your family, especially if you own a business, farmland, or property in more than one name. ROC Law prepares wills, revocable living trusts, beneficiary deeds, durable powers of attorney, and health care directives designed around your goals. We help blended families balance the interests of a spouse and children from prior relationships, name guardians for minor children, and plan for how a business or real estate will be managed after you are gone. Thoughtful planning can reduce probate delays, prevent family disputes, and protect your legacy. The firm also provides Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy, divorce and family law, and criminal and DWI defense for Franklin County clients.

Frequently Asked Legal Questions
Can a small business owner file personal bankruptcy in Missouri?
Yes. Sole proprietors and owners who personally guaranteed business loans or credit cards often file personal Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 to address those debts. Business assets used in your trade may be partly protected by Missouri exemptions. The right approach depends on how the business is structured, its ongoing viability, and whether you plan to keep operating it.
Can I move out of the area with my child after a Missouri divorce?
Missouri requires a parent who plans to relocate a child's residence to give written notice to the other parent at least 60 days in advance, with details about the move and a proposed revised schedule. The other parent can object, and a court will decide based on the child's best interests. Moving without proper notice can affect custody.
How can a trust help protect children in a blended family?
A trust can provide for a surviving spouse during their lifetime while ensuring remaining assets eventually pass to children from a prior marriage. Without careful planning, property left outright to a spouse may never reach your children. A trust also lets you set conditions, name a neutral trustee, and reduce conflicts among family members after your death.
