Estate Planning Attorney in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma

Wills, Trusts and Powers of Attorney for Tulsa and Wagoner County Families

Broken Arrow is split between Tulsa County and Wagoner County. That split decides which court handles an estate if it ever goes through probate, so we plan with it in mind.

Wayne Bailey | 1621 S. Eucalyptus Ave., Ste. 204 | By Appointment

Wayne Bailey prepares estate plans and meets clients in Suite 204 at 1621 S. Eucalyptus Ave. Tulsa clients are served from this office too.

How an Estate Plan Comes Together in Broken Arrow

  1. Call (918) 863-2523. We run a conflict check and set a meeting.
  2. First meeting. Bring deeds, account and retirement statements with their beneficiary designations, any existing will or trust, and business documents if you own a company.
  3. Design. We choose between a will and a revocable trust, or use both. We consider a transfer-on-death deed for Oklahoma real estate and line up your beneficiary forms with the plan.
  4. Signing. An Oklahoma formal will is signed before two witnesses who do not inherit under it. We handle the signing in the office.
  5. Funding and review. Assets are retitled into a trust where needed. Review the plan after a move, a marriage, a birth or a sale.

Tulsa County or Wagoner County: Where a Broken Arrow Estate Is Probated

  • Living on the Tulsa County side usually means the Tulsa County District Court, in Tulsa.
  • Living on the Wagoner County side usually means the Wagoner County District Court, in Wagoner.
  • Real estate in another state may need a separate proceeding there.
  • Much of Broken Arrow lies within the Muscogee (Creek) Nation Reservation. Restricted or allotted land can bring in federal rules and a different court. Restricted land planning

A funded revocable trust can keep many assets out of probate altogether. Where an estate qualifies, a small estate affidavit may be enough.

For Broken Arrow Business Owners

If you own a company, your will or trust and your operating agreement or bylaws should agree with each other on who takes over. We coordinate the two. See Business Lawyer in Broken Arrow.

What a Complete Plan Can Include

Wills

A formal Oklahoma will must be in writing, signed by you, and signed by two witnesses in your presence. We can also make it self-proved, so it can be admitted to probate without witness testimony unless it is contested.

Revocable Trusts

A funded revocable trust can let assets pass to your family without probate, and you keep control while you are alive.

Irrevocable Trusts

Trusts you cannot easily change, used for specific tax, asset protection, or long-term planning goals.

Special Needs Trusts

Planning for a family member with a disability without disqualifying them from the benefits they depend on.

Durable Power of Attorney

Naming the person who can handle your finances and property if you cannot.

Advance Directive

Oklahoma’s advance directive states your wishes about life-sustaining treatment and names a health care proxy. It must be witnessed by two adults who are not legatees, devisees, or heirs at law.

Asset Protection

Structuring what you own so it is better protected, planned alongside the rest of your estate.

Probate

Guiding personal representatives and families through Oklahoma probate when someone dies, including contested wills.
