Understanding Probate in Missouri

When a homeowner passes away, their will and testament often outline who will inherit their property and how it will be distributed. The individual named in the will to oversee this process is known as the executor of the estate. In Missouri, the legal process of transferring property ownership after a homeowner's death is called Probate.

 

Types of Probate in Missouri

The probate process in Missouri is carried out through local probate courts. These courts determine the rightful heirs to a property. There are three main types of probate options in Missouri:

​

1. Informal Probate: A less formal process, usually when there's a clear will and no disputes.

2. Unsupervised Formal Probate: A formal court process, but without ongoing court supervision.

3. Supervised Formal Probate: A formal process that includes ongoing court supervision, often used in complex or disputed cases.

 

Property Taxes and Probate

When a homeowner passes away, they will often outline the distribution of their property, including the home. The executor is responsible for ensuring that property taxes continue to be paid during the probate process to avoid penalties or liens.
