About

Eidelman Law Firm serves clients in Overland Park, Kansas with a focused practice in estate planning and related matters. Led by Gerald D. Eidelman, J.D., LL.M., the firm provides comprehensive planning services including wills, trusts, powers of attorney, special needs planning, Medicaid planning, and probate administration tailored to each client's individual circumstances.

The firm's core philosophy centers on the principle that effective estate planning extends far beyond asset distribution after death. Eidelman Law Firm emphasizes the importance of preparing for incapacity — addressing scenarios such as memory loss from Alzheimer's disease, sudden illness, stroke, or other medical emergencies that can leave individuals unable to make decisions or act on their own behalf. A well-drafted estate plan, according to the firm, provides clear direction and delegates decision-making authority to trusted individuals before incapacity occurs, ensuring your wishes are carried out when you cannot speak for yourself.

Recognizing that estate planning intersects with financial and tax considerations, Eidelman Law Firm advocates for a collaborative, team-based approach to the planning process. The firm is located in the same building as Market Advisory Group, LLC, an independent investment advisory firm, and Market Tax Services, LLC, an independent CPA firm. This co-location allows clients direct access to seasoned financial advisors and tax planning expertise alongside legal counsel, creating an integrated planning environment. The firm believes that coordination among attorneys, accountants, and financial advisors yields more comprehensive plans and greater peace of mind for clients and their families.

The firm offers clients a structured intake process designed to clarify their situation before an initial meeting. Prospective clients are invited to download and complete a detailed Client Questionnaire, which provides Eidelman Law Firm with a clear picture of their circumstances and concerns in advance of their appointment. This advance information enables more focused and productive consultations.

Eidelman Law Firm has published a resource titled "The Inheritance Trap: Common Estate Planning Mistakes and How to Avoid Them," which addresses frequent pitfalls in estate planning. The book explores asset transfer strategies, probate avoidance, trust considerations, family business succession, and Medicaid and long-term care planning. The firm makes copies available at no charge to prospective clients as an educational resource.

To schedule a consultation or request a complimentary copy of the firm's planning guide, prospective clients may contact Eidelman Law Firm directly.
