Wills Attorney in Norman, Oklahoma

A will is a legal document that specifies how you want your assets distributed after your death and who should care for your minor children. In Oklahoma, wills must meet specific legal requirements to be valid: you must be at least 18 years old and of sound mind, the will must be in writing, and it must be signed by you and witnessed by two people who are not beneficiaries.

Creating a will begins with taking inventory of your assets and deciding how you want them distributed. This includes real estate, bank accounts, investments, personal property, and sentimental items. You'll also need to choose an executor – someone you trust to carry out your wishes – and guardians for any minor children.

We'll draft your will using precise language that clearly expresses your intentions while complying with Oklahoma law. Your will can include specific bequests to individuals, charitable donations, and instructions for your funeral or burial. We'll also discuss whether additional estate planning tools like trusts might benefit your family.

Once your will is completed, we'll guide you through the proper execution process with witnesses and notarization. We recommend reviewing your will periodically, especially after major life events like marriage, divorce, births, deaths, or significant changes in your financial situation.
