Our Services
We believe in clear guidance, trusted relationships, and planning that stands the test of time.
At Cathcart Estate Planning LLC, we help individuals and families put their affairs in order with clarity, care, and respect. As a trusted St. Charles estate planning attorney, we prepare wills, living trusts, powers of attorney, and health care directives to create a personalized plan that protects your loved ones, preserves what you've built, and ensures your wishes are honored.
Living Trusts
A properly prepared living trust allows you to maintain control of your assets during your lifetime while establishing clear instructions for how those assets should be handled in the future.
At Cathcart Estate Planning LLC, we focus on designing living trusts that are clear, practical, and tailored to your goals — providing an organized framework that helps reduce uncertainty and protects your intentions.
Who it's for: Individuals and families looking to avoid probate, maintain privacy, and ensure smooth asset transfer.
Wills
A will sets forth your wishes regarding the distribution of your property and the individuals you trust to carry out those instructions.
We prepare clear, legally sound wills that reflect your priorities, identify key decision-makers, and provide your family with straightforward guidance consistent with Missouri law.
Who it's for: Anyone who wants clear, legal documentation of how their assets should be distributed.
Special Needs Trusts
Families with a loved one who has special needs require careful planning to balance long-term support with eligibility for public benefits.
We assist in the preparation of special needs trusts that are structured to help preserve benefit eligibility while providing supplemental resources intended to enhance quality of life and long-term security.
Who it's for: Families with special needs dependents who need to protect benefit eligibility while providing additional support.
Powers of Attorney & Health Care Directives
Planning for incapacity is an essential part of a well-rounded estate plan.
We prepare durable financial powers of attorney and health care treatment directives that clearly designate trusted individuals to act on your behalf if needed, ensuring your personal, financial, and medical wishes are documented and respected.
Who it's for: Everyone — especially adults with families, property, or specific medical wishes.
Irrevocable Trusts
An irrevocable trust is a powerful tool to protect assets, plan for long-term care, and secure your family's future.
At Cathcart Estate Planning LLC, we help clients design irrevocable trusts — including Medicaid Asset Protection Trusts (MAPTs) and other specialized strategies — that are practical, tailored, and aligned with your long-term goals.
Who it's for: Those seeking asset protection, Medicaid planning, or estate tax reduction strategies.
Small Business Succession Planning
For many business owners, thoughtful planning is key to protecting what they've built.
We help small business owners develop succession plans that address ownership transition, continuity planning, and family considerations — providing clear documentation that supports long-term goals and future stability.
Who it's for: Business owners who need a clear plan for ownership transfer and business continuity.
