Estate planning is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones and preserve your wishes. At Oath Law, our St. Louis office helps families create clear, personalized estate plans that remove stress and ensure a smooth future for those you care about most. Whether you're preparing your first plan or updating your documents, we make the process simple, reassuring, and tailored to your life.
A trust can be one of the most effective tools in your estate planning toolkit. Oath Law's St. Louis trust attorneys help you understand the benefits of both revocable and irrevocable trusts, and how each can support your long-term goals.
A revocable living trust allows you to stay in control of your assets while streamlining the process for your loved ones later on. An irrevocable trust provides stronger protection and structure for managing your estate. Our team explains each option in clear, straightforward terms so you can make confident decisions that align with your family's needs.
A will is the foundation of your estate plan. It outlines how your assets should be distributed, names guardians for minor children, and provides clarity for your family when they need it most.
At Oath Law, our St. Louis estate planning lawyers walk you through the entire process step by step. We help you think through your beneficiaries, your property, and your wishes — then craft a will that reflects your values and goals. Our supportive, educational approach ensures you feel confident and informed every step of the way.
A Power of Attorney (POA) gives a trusted person the authority to manage your financial or legal matters if you're ever unable to handle them yourself. Without this essential document, your family could face delays and court involvement during an already stressful time.
Our St. Louis team helps you choose the right agent, outline their responsibilities, and create a durable POA that protects your interests. With the right POA in place, you can be assured that your financial life will continue smoothly, no matter what occurs.
A healthcare directive, sometimes called a living will, communicates your medical treatment preferences if you cannot speak for yourself. It offers your family clarity and helps ensure that your care aligns with your beliefs and values.
The Oath Law St. Louis team walks you through compassionate conversations about life support, emergency treatment, and end-of-life decisions. We document your choices clearly so your loved ones and medical team know exactly how to honor your wishes.
Families across St. Louis and the surrounding metro area choose Oath Law for our clear, no-pressure approach to estate planning and our commitment to exceptional service.

1. What's the difference between a will and a trust? A will directs how your assets are distributed after death, while a trust can manage your assets both during your life and after.
2. Do I need both a will and a trust? Many St. Louis families benefit from both. A trust provides privacy and smoother administration, while a will covers assets not in the trust and names guardians for children.
3. Who should be my Power of Attorney? Choose someone responsible, trustworthy, and capable of managing financial or legal decisions on your behalf.
4. How often should I update my estate plan? You should review and update your plan every few years, or whenever major life changes occur.
5. What happens if I don't have a will? Without a will, state law determines how your assets are distributed — which may not match your personal wishes.
6. What is a living will? A living will documents your preferences for medical care if you cannot communicate your decisions.
7. Can I include my digital assets? Yes. Estate plans should address online accounts, digital files, email, and social media access.
8. How do I plan for a blended family? A customized estate plan ensures that all family members are considered and your intentions are clearly honored.
9. What mistakes should I avoid in estate planning? Common mistakes include failing to update documents, choosing the wrong decision-makers, and waiting too long to start.
10. How long does the estate planning process take? Most St. Louis clients complete their plans within a few weeks, depending on scheduling and complexity.
