Helping Families Protect Their Financial Interests
You work hard to accumulate and preserve your financial assets. Lashly & Baer, P.C., works just as hard to make sure these assets are protected.
Our attorneys provide estate and asset-protection planning services to owners of closely held businesses, corporate executives, professionals and individuals with special needs. We begin by analyzing our clients’ goals and developing plans to implement those goals through wills, trusts, lifetime and charitable gifts, and other techniques such as family limited partnerships and LLCs, powers of attorney, special needs trusts, irrevocable trusts, and probate and estate planning.
We can develop strategies that allow business owners to pass their business interests to succeeding generations while providing advantageous estate and income tax results. We also provide estate administration services to ensure the plan we develop is executed properly. We do all this because it’s your financial security at stake, and we want to protect it now and for future generations.
From our offices in St. Louis, Missouri, and Belleville, Illinois, we help clients throughout the region.
