Estate Planning

A well-crafted estate plan is one of the most important gifts you can give your family. At OTT Law in St. Louis, Missouri, we help individuals and families create comprehensive estate plans that protect their assets, minimize tax exposure, provide for loved ones with special needs, and ensure that their wishes are honored. Whether your estate is modest or substantial, we tailor every plan to your unique circumstances, values, and goals — because no two families are alike.

Our estate planning services encompass the full range of planning tools, including wills, revocable and irrevocable trusts, durable powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and beneficiary designation reviews. For clients with significant assets, business interests, or complex family situations, we also design advanced strategies such as charitable trusts, dynasty trusts, family limited partnerships, and asset protection planning. We work collaboratively with your financial advisors, accountants, and other professionals to ensure that your estate plan is integrated with your broader wealth management strategy.

Life changes — and so should your estate plan. OTT Law encourages regular plan reviews to account for changes in family circumstances, tax law, and asset composition. We maintain long-term relationships with our estate planning clients, serving as a trusted counselor through every stage of life. Whether you are creating your first will, updating an existing plan after a major life event, or navigating the probate and trust administration process after a loved one's passing, our St. Louis attorneys are here to guide you with compassion and expertise.
