Parman & Easterday’s Blog

After helping his own family deal with a lengthy probate and a battle with the IRS following his father’s death in a farm accident, Larry made a decision to help families create effective estate plans designed to reduce taxes, and minimize legal interference with the transfer of assets to one’s heirs, and protect his clients’ assets from predators and creditors. Following a dozen years in the investment banking and financial services business, in the mid-1980s Mr. Parman formed a law firm that gives families the peace of mind that comes from having created a premier estate and financial plan.

After forming his law firm in 1984, he offered a series of public and private seminars to inform the public about using a Living Trust as the foundation of a family’s estate plan. Today, Parman & Easterday is one of the leading business and estate planning law firms in the Midwest. The firm’s primary focus is on business and estate planning, elder law, asset protection, and providing effective estate planning solutions for clients. Today, the firm’s premier estate plan design is referred to as a Legacy Wealth Plan.

Mr. Parman is a frequent guest on the radio and can be seen on television talk shows explaining the importance of proper estate planning. Prosperity Productions selected Mr. Parman as a featured speaker in a nationally-recognized educational video on Living Trusts. He is the author of numerous published articles on financial and estate planning matters and the co-author of the book, Guiding Those Left Behind in Oklahoma and Estate Planning Basics: A Crash Course in Safeguarding Your Legacy.
