Probate in Missouri
Missouri sets executor and attorney fees by a statutory scale, charged to the estate for each, with the executor's tiers acting as a minimum that the court may exceed. A small estate affidavit can reach the house, which is unusual, after a 30-day wait. Creditors have six months, subject to a one-year absolute bar, and independent administration moves faster than supervised administration.
Personal Injury in Missouri
Missouri gives five years for most injury claims, among the longest in the country, though a bill to shorten it has been pending. There is no fault cutoff, a rule the state Supreme Court created by ruling rather than the legislature, so your share of fault reduces recovery without barring it. Ordinary injury claims are uncapped, medical malpractice carries a statutory cap, and attorney fees face only a reasonableness standard.
Family Law in Missouri
Missouri calculates child support with Form 14, with a basic amount, additional costs and an overnight adjustment. There is no maintenance formula: a two-part statutory threshold applies first. Marital property is divided in proportions the court deems just, with no set percentage. A divorce needs 90 days of residence before filing and 30 days from the petition to the judgment.
