What’s Included in an Estate Plan
More Than Just a Will
Most people think estate planning means writing a will. While that’s a great starting point, there’s much more to it. A complete estate plan often includes:
- Last Will & Testament – Names who receives your assets and who will care for your children
- Revocable Living Trust – Helps avoid probate and allows for easier asset management
- Durable Power of Attorney – Appoints someone to handle your finances if you can’t
- Advance Healthcare Directive – Explains your wishes for medical care
- Healthcare Proxy – Names someone to make medical decisions for you if needed
- Beneficiary Designations Review – Makes sure your accounts and policies match your plan
Every plan we create is tailored to your family, your goals, and your future—not pulled from a template.
Why Estate Planning Matters in Oklahoma
Avoid Probate, Save Time & Reduce Stress
In Oklahoma, if you pass away without a will or trust, the state decides who gets your property. That means your spouse, kids, or chosen family members might not be protected the way you intended. Even with a basic will, your family may still have to go through probate court—a public, expensive, and time-consuming process.
With the right plan in place, you can:
- Help your family avoid probate
- Prevent unnecessary legal fees
- Name trusted guardians for your children
- Choose who will handle your finances or healthcare if you can’t
- Ensure your wishes are followed without confusion or delay
We’ve helped families from Nichols Hills to Moore and everywhere in between. Whether your goal is to protect your kids, manage real estate, or simply make sure things are done right, we’ll guide you step by step.
Do I need a will or a trust?
That depends on your goals. A will is a basic document, but it still goes through probate. A trust helps avoid probate and gives you more control. We’ll help you understand the pros and cons.
What happens if I don’t have an estate plan?
If you die without a will or trust in Oklahoma, state law determines who gets your assets—and the people you care about most might be left out.
How often should I update my plan?
We recommend reviewing your plan every 3 years or whenever there’s a major life change like a birth, death, divorce, or new asset.
Is estate planning only for wealthy people?
Not at all. If you own a home, have children, or simply want to stay in control, estate planning is for you.
