About
Scott Patrick Keifer, the founder of St. Louis Estate Planning LLC, is dedicated to creating affordable and effective estate planning solutions tailored to the unique needs of his clients in Saint Louis, MO. Scott's passion for this field was ignited during his childhood when he accompanied his parents to an estate planning attorney in a posh downtown office. He was struck by the lavish surroundings and questioned the high costs that often accompany traditional legal services. This pivotal moment inspired him to establish a practice that prioritizes quality service without the burden of unnecessary overhead. By operating outside the confines of a large law firm, Scott is able to provide personalized attention and exceptional legal guidance, ensuring that his clients receive only the services they truly need—often at half the cost of traditional firms. His commitment to client satisfaction is evident in the time he dedicates to understanding each client's circumstances and goals. Scott holds a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Truman State University and achieved his Certified Public Accountant (CPA) designation in 1994. He graduated from the University of Missouri School of Law in 1997 and became a member of the Missouri Bar. His diverse background includes valuable experience as an intern for a U.S. District Court Magistrate and a managerial role at Extel Communications, where he honed his skills in finance, taxes, contract management, and legal compliance over a span of 17 years. In 2015, Scott made the pivotal decision to concentrate solely on estate planning, offering his expertise to clients within a two-hour radius of St. Louis. He has built a reputation as a trusted advisor in probate matters, helping families navigate the complexities of estate planning with clarity and confidence. Outside of his professional endeavors, Scott cherishes family life with his wife, Claire, and their three children. Active in their community, they are members of St. Catherine Laboure Catholic Church. Scott also enjoys volunteering with the Boy Scouts and embarking on annual backpacking trips with lifelong friends across the breathtaking trails of the American West. His dedication to both his clients and his community exemplifies his commitment to making a positive impact in the lives of those he serves.
