Dutzow is an unincorporated community in southeastern Warren County, Missouri, United States. It is located on Route 94 about three miles north of Washington. It is near the Missouri River and is the oldest German community in the state, founded in 1832. It is named for the German estate of its founder, Johann Wilhelm Bock, often referred to as the Baron Von Bock. Bock's Berlin Society was the first colony of emigrants to follow the plan laid out by German author Gottfried Duden, who lived in what would become Dutzow from 1824 until 1827. Another famous resident was Friedrich Münch, who led the Giessen Society in 1834.
What is estate planning and probate law?
Estate planning is the process of anticipating and arranging for the disposal of an estate. Estate planning typically attempts to eliminate uncertainties over the administration of a probate and maximize the value of the estate by reducing taxes and other expenses. Estate planning attorneys advise clients on their options for disposition of real and personal property after death, and create any number of necessary documents pertaining to the estate and finances of the client -- including wills and trusts. Estate planning law attorneys also assist clients in setting out their end-of-life health care wishes through living wills and health care powers of attorney.
