Wills
KELVIN BIRK’S KNOWLEDGE OF THE LAWS AND TAX RULES AND REGULATIONS MAKE HIM PERFECT FOR HANDLING EVERYTHING FROM SIMPLE WILLS TO COMPLEX TRUSTS.
Trusts
When you set up a trust, you are called the trusto r. You designate a person, called a trustee, to hold property for another person, called a beneficiary. This does not mean you lose control of your property. If you are setting up a living trust, you can make yourself the trustee and keep full control over all property held in the trust while you are alive. You also designate a successor trustee, often a spouse or a child, to handle your property and distribute it after you die.
Power of Attorney
Powers of attorney designate the person(s) you’d like to make decisions about your finances and other legal matters in the event that you become incapacitated because of illness or other unforeseen circumstances. You can make this power as broad or as narrow as you like. For example, a durable power of attorney for finances designates the person you want to take care of your finances if you become incapacitated and are unable to make financial decisions.
Probate
Probate is a court-supervised legal process that may be required after someone dies, and Missouri probate law () governs what happens with the deceased person’s property.

Bankruptcy
If you’ve been struggling with mounting debt and can’t seem to get your head above water, it may be time to try a different approach. Bankruptcy can provide a fresh start and put your financial difficulties behind you. A bankruptcy attorney in Cape Girardeau can help. Even the most responsible and hard-working people experience unanticipated setbacks caused by job loss or serious illness. Often it is through no fault of their own that they find themselves at a serious debt crossroads. Bankruptcy law was created to give individuals and families the chance to begin again.
Foreclosure
One advantage of a Chapter 13 is that you can keep your home, even if it is in foreclosure or you are behind on your payments. By working out a repayment plan over a much longer timeframe than the current mortgage holder would typically allow, you create some breathing room for yourself and explore your options. You can stop foreclosure proceedings with a Chapter 13.
Tax Law
Cape Girardeau real estate lawyer Kelvin Birk is also a successful business owner who oversees his own farm in Missouri. That means he understands real estate ownership in addition to having skills as a lawyer and CPA. This professional experience and insight enable him to help clients with a wide range of legal and tax-planning needs.
