Kansas City and Independence Probate and Estate Planning Attorneys
Kapke & Willerth, LLC, has grown significantly from its beginnings as a local general practice firm focused on real estate. After 40 years of client service in the Kansas City metro area, we now serve as general counsel for many local businesses, and we have developed and refined important practice expertise in such areas as municipal law, construction, employment law, estate planning, personal injury and consumer protection. While we continue to retain the client service attributes of a small practice, we can meet most or all of the legal needs that most small businesses or families will ever encounter.
Contact us in Lee's Summit to learn how we can benefit your company or your family. We provide attentive and individualized service in all engagements, and we concentrate on meeting client needs promptly and cost-effectively.
Examples of our work include:
Real Estate Law. Our practice covers residential and commercial transactions, real estate litigation, commercial development, construction contracting, construction litigation, eminent domain, land use and zoning problems, and other matters.
Estate Planning and Probate. We provide comprehensive client service in estate planning, elder law, trust and estate administration, and probate litigation in both Missouri and Kansas.
Civil Litigation. With a fully developed civil trial practice, we protect the interests of businesses and individuals across a wide range of adversary situations, including commercial litigation, corporate litigation, personal injury claims, consumer protection claims and workers' compensation, to name just a few.
In addition to these primary areas of practice, our lawyers also advise and represent clients in such areas as:
