Topics We Cover During the Seminar
1. Wills vs. Living Trusts
One of the most common questions we answer is the difference between a will and a trust—and which one actually avoids probate. You’ll learn:
- The purpose of a will and what it does (and doesn’t) accomplish
- How a living trust can streamline the transfer of assets
- Why many Missouri families choose trusts for privacy and efficiency

2. How Probate Works (and How to Avoid It)
We walk through Missouri’s probate process so you understand typical timelines, costs, and what families experience if no plan—or only a will—is in place. Attendees learn:
- How probate courts manage your estate
- Common delays and expenses
- How proper planning can help families avoid the process altogether
3. Powers of Attorney and Incapacity Planning
Estate planning isn’t just about what happens after you’re gone—it also protects you during your lifetime. The seminar explains:
- Financial powers of attorney
- Healthcare powers of attorney
- Living wills and medical directives
- How these documents ensure your wishes are honored
4. Special Needs Planning
If you have a child or loved one with special needs, you’ll learn how to protect their eligibility for benefits while still providing long-term financial support. We explain how special needs trusts work and when they may be appropriate.
5. Modern Digital Trusts and Today’s Estate Planning Tools
Gap Group Financial uses modern digital trust technology that makes document storage, updates, and management easier for families across the Kansas City metro. You’ll see how today’s digital tools simplify estate planning and help keep everything secure and accessible.
