Estate planning, when done wrong, can sometimes feel like a ghost story with unexpected turns and chilling outcomes. While many think of Halloween as a time for fun frights and treats, we see it as an opportunity to shine a light on some of the “nightmares” that can happen without proper estate planning. But fear not, at the Law Office of Andrew Rowe, P.A., we’re here to guide you through the darkness and keep the ghouls at bay. Let’s dive deep into the crypt of common estate planning mishaps.
The Ghoulish Tale of Forgotten Assets in Kansas
We’ve all heard tales of forgotten treasures and mysterious inheritances. But in the world of estate planning, overlooked assets can be more horror than fairy tale. Maybe you’ve inherited a property you weren’t aware of, or perhaps you’ve simply forgotten about some investments. Not addressing all your assets can lead to disputes, confusion, and unintended beneficiaries. At the Law Office of Andrew Rowe, P.A., we delve deep to ensure every asset is considered and allocated according to your wishes.
An estate plan that isn’t crystal clear can lead to feuds worthy of any haunting tale. It might be a disagreement over who gets grandmother’s heirloom necklace or debates about property divisions. By making your desires clear and explicit, you dispel the shadows of doubt and uncertainty. Working with a dedicated estate planning lawyer ensures your voice echoes clearly, even when you’re no longer around to speak.
The Phantom of Unexpected Situations in Kansas
Life is unpredictable, filled with twists and turns. Maybe an emergency situation arises and you need immediate estate planning, like a 24-hour deathbed provision. While we’re always here for such emergency situations, remember that a typical estate plan takes about a month from consultation to signing. By starting early and updating as needed, you can keep those unexpected phantoms at bay.
Steer Clear of the Curse of DIY Plans

Without a seasoned guide, you might end up in the tangled woods of legal complexities. We’re here to ensure your estate plan is thorough, accurate, and compliant with Kansas laws.
