Modifies and establishes provisions relating to estate planning
HB 180 modifies Missouri's estate planning laws to establish new rules for trust administration and electronic wills. It allows trustees to transfer a trust's management location to another state or country with 60 days' notice to beneficiaries, detailing reasons and potential legal changes. The bill also creates a framework for valid electronic wills, requiring witnesses in physical or real-time electronic presence and enabling remote online notarization for self-proving affidavits. This directly affects trust beneficiaries, trustees, and individuals creating wills, modernizing estate planning procedures while maintaining core legal standards.
