I wanted to know if there is a time limit to claim an inheritance. I was told you only have one year, and after that you are time barred. Thank you.

Can you be time barred from claiming an inheritance. I was told you had only one year

I don't know if that's correct or not but "I was told" is the most dangerous phrase in the English language.
It would help to know who told you that and under what circumstances. Was it somebody who is trying to keep an inheritance from you? Something else?
Meantime, feel free to browse the Missouri probate code starting with Chapter 472. If you are an heir there is a lot in there you should know:
2016 Missouri Revised Statutes :: TITLE XXXI TRUSTS AND ESTATES OF DECEDENTS AND PERSONS UNDER DISABILITY (456-475)
