Higginsville, MO Real Estate, Homes For Sale, School & Area Information

Bring your lawn chairs and settle in for a fireworks display that is sure to not disappoint! The Higginsville Chamber of Commerce works hard to present a top notch family fun night on July 4th every year. There will be a band and youth entertainment leading up to the fireworks display at dark. This is one of the many reasons that Higginsville is such a great place to live and raise a family!

Jamie and I were talking today and an interesting subject came up. "I want to buy a house but I'm getting a divorce and it's not finalized yet. Can I buy the house without them getting it?". Like so many questions the answer is "it depends."

Missouri is a marital rights state, so if you buy a home while you are legally married, your spouse has rights to that property even if you have been separated for years. But, if your spouse is willing to sign a form from your bank/ title company relinquishing their marital rights you can move forward with your sale/purchase without them being involved further. There is a lot to dealing with a divorce or separation and I always recommend consulting an attorney before committing to a major legal or contractual obligation.

Have you ever wondered where you can take your recyclables in Higginsville? Well if so, the answer is to the Lafayette County Enterprises recycling location. It's right between their building on 19th Street and the fire department and across from the USDA office. We are fortunate to have an area where we can drop off glass, cardboard, plastic, and metal to help keep our environment clean and green.

As some would say "Santa's Coming to Town," the buzz around Higginsville right now is "Cockrell and McIntosh is Coming to Town." The community is excited to welcome the well known pediatrician group to our community. Their office construction is happening as we speak and set to open this fall.
