Estate Planning Attorney in Tulsa, OK

Serving and Protecting Tulsa Residents for Over 25 Years

Everyone deserves straightforward, honest advice and representation from a hardworking attorney.
We want to be those attorneys for you now and in the future.

Tulsa runs on its own unique pace.

The oil and gas sector means complex business ownership structures and succession disputes. The Port of Catoosa brings in contractors, commercial agreements, and business disputes that require attorneys who understand how deals actually work in this region. Generational family farms in Osage and Rogers County get passed down without an estate plan and end up in Tulsa County District Court at 500 S. Denver Ave. before anyone realizes what’s happening.

At Green Country Law Group, we’ve spent over 25 years as a law firm in Tulsa, OK, working alongside local families, business owners, and professionals. We’re not a national firm with no time to get personal. We’re a team of attorneys who understand what’s at stake for people building lives here, from the Brady Arts District to Broken Arrow, from Jenks to the suburbs stretching out past Woodland Hills Mall.

What Happens in Tulsa When You Don't Have a Legal Plan

If you die without a will in Oklahoma, it’s called dying “intestate”, and your estate will go through Tulsa County District Court probate, a public, court-supervised process that can take months and cost thousands in fees before your family sees a dollar.

Under Oklahoma’s intestate succession laws (Title 84, Section 213), the state decides who gets what if you pass away without a plan, not you.

Here’s some real-world Tulsa examples to think through

A home in Midtown or Maple Ridge with a spouse and two kids: Oklahoma law can split the estate, and your children’s shares may force a sale your spouse never wanted.
Unmarried partners: Oklahoma grants zero automatic inheritance rights to a partner without a will, regardless of how long you’ve shared a home or how many assets you hold together.
Minor children: A Tulsa County judge—not you—appoints a guardian if both parents are deceased or incapacitated and no legal document names your choice.
Business owners: Without a succession plan, your business becomes part of your probate estate. Partners, creditors, and the court all have a say in what happens next.
Under Title 58, Section 393, small estates may qualify for a simplified process, but the moment an estate doesn’t qualify, your family is in full probate, with public filings at the downtown courthouse and months of delays.

Legal Services We Provide in Tulsa, OK

We’re a full-service law firm in Tulsa OK, which means you don’t need a different attorney every time your legal needs change.

Estate Planning

Wills, trusts, asset protection strategies, powers of attorney, and advance directives built around your specific situation under Oklahoma's Advance Directive for Health Care Act (Title 63, Section 3101.4). Whether you own a home in South Tulsa, a rental near the University of Tulsa, or a business in the metro, we make sure what that your legacy, assets, and family are completely protected.

Business Law

Under Title 18 of the Oklahoma Statutes, an LLC without a proper operating agreement or separate accounts offers very little real protection when challenged in court. Whether you're operating near the BOK Center or running a shop in the Brookside neighborhood, we make sure your business structure actually works as it’s supposed to.

Probate

If you've lost someone and need to go through Tulsa County's probate process, we have heavy experience in guiding families through the entire process of probate court at the S. Denver Ave. courthouse.

Tribal Law

Tulsa sits at the heart of the Five Civilized Tribes' historic territory, and following the U.S. Supreme Court's 2020 McGirt v. Oklahoma decision, questions around tribal jurisdiction, land status, and criminal and civil matters have become more complicatd for Tulsa area residents than ever before. If your case involves tribal court, trust land, or jurisdictional questions under federal Indian law, we have the experience to help you handle it.

Family Law

Divorce, custody, guardianship, and adoption cases in Tulsa County are heard at the same downtown courthouse, but they're rarely simple. Whether you're going through a divorce that involves a family business or property near the River Parks area, fighting for custody of your kids, or trying to establish guardianship for a family member, we handle these cases and keep you informed and empowered every step of the way.

Tax Law

Whether you're managing quarterly business obligations or dealing with an IRS notice, our attorneys provide real guidance under both federal law and Oklahoma's Tax Code (Title 68).

Answering Frequently Asked Questions

I own a business in Tulsa. Do I need both business documents and an estate plan?

Yes, and they need to work together. Under Title 18, your LLC interest is a personal asset that becomes part of your estate when you die. Without a succession plan built into both your operating agreement and your will or trust, a Tulsa County probate judge may end up deciding what happens to your business.

My family has farmland in Rogers or Osage County. What happens without a will?

It gets divided among all legal heirs under Title 84, creating co-tenancy ownership that can fracture across generations. Within a few generations, one piece of land can have a dozen co-owners — and under Oklahoma law, any one of them can petition the court to force a sale of the entire property.

What's the probate process like at the Tulsa County Courthouse?

Probate is filed at 500 S. Denver Ave., requires a published newspaper notice, and typically takes six months to a year before assets are distributed — sometimes longer if contested. A properly drafted trust avoids that process entirely, meaning your family never has to set foot in that courthouse.

Do you serve clients outside Tulsa proper?

Yes. We work with clients in Broken Arrow, Owasso, Jenks, Bixby, Sand Springs, Claremore, and communities throughout Tulsa, Rogers, Wagoner, Creek, and Osage counties.
