West of Frontenac,

Town & Country is one of the most affluent municipalities in the metro — about 11,000 residents across a large geographic footprint west of Frontenac, with substantial residential lots, second-home patterns, and the family-business interests that come with the demographic.

Multi-account planning,
done by hand.
Town & Country is one of the most affluent municipalities in the metro — about 11,000 residents across a large geographic footprint west of Frontenac, with substantial residential lots, second-home patterns, and the family-business interests that come with the demographic. The estate work the city generates is among the most complex we handle.
A typical Town & Country plan starts with a revocable living trust that holds the primary residence and any second home, with brokerage and retirement-account beneficiaries coordinated to the same scheme. Where there is a closely held business interest, the buy-sell, the funding mechanism, and the tax-attentive transition all need to talk to each other and to the trust. Powers of attorney get drafted with specific authorities — the form template is rarely the right document at this level.
We do not handle every facet of every Town & Country plan; complex tax work and dedicated business-succession counsel sometimes belong with outside counsel, and we say so when that is the case. What we do is the core estate-planning work, the probate avoidance, and the administration if the planning was not done in time. The first conversation establishes what fits.
A Town & Country plan is not a form-template plan. The brokerage beneficiaries, the second home, the business interest, and the trust all need to talk to each other.
Town and Country legal FAQ —
straight answers.
The questions Town and Country residents and businesses ask most often. General information; specific facts always change the analysis.
What court handles felony cases for Town and Country residents?
Felony charges originating in Town and Country are filed in the St. Louis County Circuit Court at 105 South Central Avenue, Clayton. Initial appearances, preliminary hearings, and bond review are heard there before the case is assigned to a trial division. We appear in St. Louis County regularly.
Where is Town and Country’s municipal court located?
The Town and Country Municipal Court at City Hall handles ordinance violations. Speeding citations, careless-and-imprudent tickets, accident citations, and minor ordinance matters are heard there rather than at the St. Louis County Circuit Court.
How far is your office from Town and Country?
Our office at 580 N. U.S. Highway 67, Suite 4 in Florissant is about 28 minutes southwest of Florissant via I-270. Many Town and Country clients meet us in person; others handle the entire matter by phone and video, with in-home signings available for estate planning.
What is a Missouri beneficiary deed?
A beneficiary deed under RSMo §461.025 lets a Missouri homeowner name who receives the property on death, outside probate. It is one of the most cost-effective planning tools available and is signed and recorded with the recorder of deeds.
Does my Town and Country home have to go through probate?
Not if it is properly titled — joint tenancy, trust ownership, or a recorded beneficiary deed all keep the home out of probate. We review the deed at the first meeting and recommend the smallest plan that achieves the goal.
