Скачать или смотреть Legal Lens: Missouri Embraces Digital Wills and Estate Planning

SPONSORED – In this segment of The Legal Lens on Fox 2, sponsored by Brown & Crouppen Law Firm, Andrea McNairy discusses Missouri’s upcoming change to estate planning laws, taking effect August 28, 2025. The new law will allow for the electronic creation, storage, and maintenance of legal documents including wills, trusts, power of attorney, and health care directives.

Supporters of the law see it as a step toward modernization and accessibility, especially for people in rural areas or those with mobility challenges. However, concerns remain about fraud risks and the possibility of errors when drafting legal documents without an attorney. While simple estates may benefit from this new option, McNairy emphasizes that those with significant assets or complex needs should still consult a legal professional.
