How many days does a seller have to provide a written statement of all deposits made to a trust upon request?

In Missouri, when a seller is requested to provide a written statement of all deposits made to a trust, they are required to do so within 30 days. This requirement ensures transparency in the handling of funds related to funeral services and allows consumers to verify the status of their deposits. The 30-day timeframe is established to strike a balance between giving the seller enough time to compile the necessary records while still ensuring prompt communication with the consumer. This practice helps foster trust and accountability within the funeral industry. Understanding this timeframe is essential for both funeral directors and consumers to ensure compliance with the law and to protect consumer rights in financial matters relating to funeral services.
