A Family Name. A Community Legacy. An Independent Firm Built to Last.

Lockridge Legacy Financial Services is Chillicothe's only independent, family-owned financial advisory firm — and the name on the door has meant trusted financial guidance in this community for more than 50 years.

The People Behind the Practice


Lockridge Legacy is a family business in the most direct sense. Carrie Busse and her son-in-law Brennon run the firm together — and that structure is not incidental. It's the point. When you become a client of Lockridge Legacy, you work with Carrie or Brennon. Not a junior associate. Not whoever is available. The same person who sat with you at your first meeting is the same person who picks up when you call, reviews your account, and talks with you when markets move.


Family-run means someone is always accountable. There's no corporate layer to absorb the responsibility — it rests with the people whose names are, in every meaningful sense, on the firm.
