Re: Next of Kin

You did not say what part (County) of Missouri your ex lived in when he died. Your children should take immediate action to see that his property is secured and insured. Then they should begin searching for the will. Missouri does not allow heirs a long period to ponder their options. They should speak with an attorney. Your or they may contact me at (816) 763-4330 or at my web page: www.lawsmith.org

Good luck with your efforts to help your children.
