Estate Planning & Probate
BridgeBuilder is unlike any “traditional” estate planning practice. Where other estate planning firms offer cookie cutter documentation, we act as a trusted advisor for our clients, delivering customized solutions to fit each client’s individual needs.We help perpetuate your material wealth (avoiding taxes, passing assets, etc.), but we also help you “build a bridge” to the next generation of your family.Traditional estate planning does a great job of protecting assets, but doesn’t focus on preparing the heirs to receive their inheritance. At our firm, we believe in providing comprehensive planning and guidance across all stages of the process, so that all parties are ready and prepared to deal with changes in their net-worth.
After the death of a loved one, we assist clients with navigating the probate process and provide guidance with regard to trust administration. To schedule a consultation, contact us today. We serve clients throughout the Kansas City metropolitan area.
