Through estate planning, wills and trusts, our expert attorneys can help protect your property and investments for you and your family.

Estate Planning is the process of designing and implementing a plan to ensure that your assets pass to those persons you wish to benefit from them following your death, at the least possible cost and with the fewest procedural headaches to your intended beneficiaries.

A will is a legal document prepared to give instructions about how your property should be divided among your survivors after your death. If you die without a Will in Oklahoma, the Court will divide your assets for you and sometimes it may not be in a manner in which you would have wanted. Regardless of whether or not you have a Will, your estate could be subject to the Probate process. You could eliminate the need for Probate with the creation of a Trust. This is usually one of most efficient ways to protect your assets, avoid tax penalties, and ensure that the maximum amount of your wealth is transferred to your loved ones. Our attorneys welcome that opportunity to assist you in creating a plan that best meets your individual goals.

Today, as more and more people are living longer, the practice of estate planning has grown and oftentimes includes discussions surrounding the concept of “Life Planning” which considers a plan that includes providing for your long term care.
