The process of preparing legal documents to manage your assets, health care, and family’s future in the event of incapacity or death. At Parman & Easterday, we help you create personalized plans that may include wills, trusts, powers of attorney, and healthcare directives—so you stay in control and your loved ones are protected.

A legal document that outlines how your assets should be distributed after your death and names an executor to carry out your wishes. While often seen as a simple solution, wills in Kansas and Missouri must go through probate—a public, time-consuming, and potentially costly legal process. At Parman & Easterday, we help you understand the limitations of a basic will and ensure your estate plan reflects your goals while avoiding common pitfalls. We also help you understand how you can use MO and KS transfer-on-death deeds along with your will in a way that is effective and straightforward.

The process of managing and distributing assets held in a trust, typically without the delays and costs of probate. Whether you create a revocable living trust to maintain control during your lifetime or an irrevocable trust for tax or Medicaid planning, our team at Parman & Easterday helps ensure your wishes are carried out smoothly and efficiently. We guide trustees through every step and help you choose the right structure and successor to protect your legacy.

A legal tool that allows you to appoint someone to make decisions on your behalf if you're unable to do so.

Business succession planning ensures your company continues to thrive in the event of your incapacity or death. At Parman & Easterday, we help small business owners protect what they've built through strategies like Family Limited Partnerships, Buy-Sell agreements, and successor designations. Whether passing your business to the next generation or preparing it for sale, our goal is to preserve your legacy and provide financial security for your loved ones.

Probate is the court-supervised legal process of administering a deceased person’s estate, which includes validating a will, settling debts, and distributing assets. While it serves an important role, probate can be time-consuming, costly, and public. At Parman & Easterday, we help you understand when probate is required and how tools like revocable living trusts can be used to avoid it, protect your privacy, and ensure a smoother transfer of assets to your loved ones.

Trusts are powerful estate planning tools that allow you to control how and when your assets are distributed, often without going through probate. A revocable living trust lets you maintain control during your lifetime and provides privacy, creditor protection, and long-term support for beneficiaries—even minor children. Parman & Easterday also offers guidance on other trusts, such as those for special needs planning, tax efficiency, or encouraging positive behavior, all tailored to your specific goals.

Our Medicaid planning services help safeguard your life savings from nursing home costs, using proven strategies to qualify for benefits while maintaining your legacy for loved ones.
