Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Missouri

power of attorney was signed, and filed before we noticed that my grandmothers last name was misspelled by one letter, does that make it invalid?

This called a scrivener error. They usually do not invalidate a document. But, when you can, its usually best to correct the error. Your grandmother can do this, if she still has capacity.

Good luck
