Why Estate Planning Matters for Oklahoma Families
Without an estate plan, Oklahoma law—not you—decides what happens to your property and who cares for your children. The probate process becomes longer, more expensive, and completely public.
A thoughtfully crafted estate plan gives you control. It protects your family from unnecessary stress, reduces costs, and ensures your wishes are clearly documented and legally enforceable.
Whether you're a young family creating your first will or planning for retirement, having the right documents in place provides peace of mind that your family is protected.
Without a Plan:
- Oklahoma law decides who inherits
- Courts choose guardians for children
- Estate goes through public probate
- Family may face delays and disputes
With a Plan:
- You decide who inherits what
- You choose your children's guardians
- Assets can avoid probate entirely
- Clear instructions reduce family conflict

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does estate planning cost in Oklahoma City?
Costs vary depending on complexity. A simple will may be less than a comprehensive trust-based plan. During your initial consultation, we'll discuss your goals and provide a transparent fee structure before beginning any work.
What documents do I need for a basic estate plan?
A foundational estate plan typically includes a last will and testament, a durable financial power of attorney, a healthcare power of attorney, and a living will (advance directive). Many families also benefit from a revocable living trust.
Can I update my estate plan after it's created?
Absolutely. In fact, we recommend reviewing your plan every 3-5 years or after major life events such as marriage, divorce, the birth of a child, significant financial changes, or moving to a new state.
What's the difference between a will and a trust in Oklahoma?
A will takes effect only after death and must go through probate court. A trust can take effect immediately, avoids the public probate process, and gives you more control over how and when your assets are distributed to beneficiaries.
