We
understand that estate planning is for more than just
the wealthiest among us. We all want to know that the
things we have worked so hard for will be protected and
that our loved ones will be provided for should anything
happen to us. We also know that a good estate plan
must consider both asset protection and tax savings. We provide estate
and asset protection planning services to owners of
closely-held businesses, corporate executives,
professionals, and individuals
with special needs, to minimize exposure to estate and
gift taxes with a minimum of administrative burdens. We
devise strategies for business owners to pass their
business interests to succeeding generations with
advantageous estate and income tax results. When the
time comes, we provide estate administration services to
ensure the plan we developed is executed in the correct
manner. Our wealth management lawyers are active in a wide
variety of national, state and local professional
associations including: Sections of Real Property and
Probate and Trust Law of the American Bar Association;
Worldwide
Employee Benefits Network; National Association of
Public Pension Attorneys; Missouri Society of Certified
Public Accountants; Estate Planning Council of St.
Louis; and Attorneys for Family-Held Enterprises, as
well as court and administrative agency advisory
committees. Members of the Firm have held leadership
positions in many of these professional associations.
One of our lawyers holds a Masters of Law degree in
taxation, and another holds a Missouri CPA designation.
