Estate Planning 40%

Lee's Summit estate planning attorney serving the Kansas City metro. Most plans center on a revocable living trust with wills, powers of attorney, and health care directives, and beneficiary deeds. Licensed in Missouri and Kansas.

40%
Trusts 30%

A living trust lets your family skip probate, settle your affairs privately, and receive what you leave on the terms you choose. I draft trusts tailored to your family and help you fund them, so the plan works when it is needed.

30%
Business 20%

Practical counsel for small business owners: contracts, ownership changes, membership interest transfers, and small business purchases. Documents sized to your business today, coordinated with your estate plan.

20%
Limited Liability Company (LLC) 10%

From simple single-member LLCs to multi-member companies, I form LLCs in Missouri and Kansas and draft operating agreements covering decisions, profits, and member exits. I also amend agreements when ownership changes.

Meaningful

Here’s a heartfelt and emotional review you could use: --- Working with Emma Ridings at Ridings Law was one of the most meaningful decisions our family has ever made. Estate planning is something so many of us put off — not because it isn’t important, but because it forces us to think about the... people we love most and the “what ifs” we’d rather avoid. Emma has a way of turning what feels overwhelming and uncomfortable into something empowering, thoughtful, and deeply personal. She doesn’t just draft documents — she listens. She takes the time to understand your family, your values, your fears, and your hopes for the future. You can feel that she truly cares about protecting what matters most to you. Throughout the entire process, we felt supported, educated, and respected. Estate planning isn’t about money or paperwork — it’s about love. It’s about making sure your children are cared for, your wishes are honored, and your family is protected from unnecessary stress during an already emotional time. Emma understands that at her core. She approaches her work with compassion, integrity, and a genuine heart for families. If you have anyone you love — a spouse, children, parents, or even close friends — having an estate plan in place is one of the greatest gifts you can give them. Emma makes that gift possible in the most caring and professional way. We are incredibly grateful for her guidance and would recommend Ridings Law to anyone who wants peace of mind and protection for the people they cherish most.
