We work with probate courts
across the State of Missouri.
Average and median full administration timelines are
less than 1 year (small estates as little as 4-8 weeks).
All fees disclosed up front.
No hourly billing surprises.
Why Schnurbusch Law?
Led by attorney Dan Schnurbusch, we combine technology, expertise, and a client-first approach to make probate as efficient as possible.
Transparent Flat Rates.
Most full administrations run $6-7,500 + court costs; smaller estates start at $3,000. No surprise attorney fee invoices unless the law requires it.*
We shoulder the legal risk.
Missouri law usually makes a lawyer mandatory; we make the process merciful.
Built-for-speed workflows.
Our average full administration wraps up inside a year—months (or years) faster than the state norm. Our mission is to make probate as fast and painless as legally possible.
Curated local pros.
Clean-outs, appraisers, realtors—hand-picked, no kickbacks.
Cooperative Probate Focus.
We specialize in routine administration where families are working together. For will contests or litigation, we'll refer you to qualified contested-probate counsel.
