Last Will & Testament

What is a Last Will and Testament?

Perhaps the most common estate planning tool is a Last Will & Testament. While a will does not do everything people assume it does, it is still useful in many circumstances. Younger clients with few resources and limited means can benefit from a will.

Under Oklahoma law, and many other states, a will requires a probate, but it is still usually better than dying "intestate" (without a plan). For example, parents of young children often use a will to appoint a guardian for their kids in the event of their death. And even if someone has very few assets, a will can help to ensure that those assets are distributed according to their wishes rather than being subject to the state's intestacy laws.
