HB 180 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

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.
