Probate & Estate Planning

Are you interested in learning more about probate and estate planning? Rachel Morefield, a local attorney, is offering a probate and estate planning workshop at your local library.

Breakdown of the workshop:

• What powers of attorney and healthcare directives actually do — and why they’re often more critical than a will
• What happens when someone passes without a plan
• How Oklahoma’s probate system works and when it can be avoided
• When tools like wills, trusts, and transfer-on-death deeds make sense — and when they don’t. Many people are told they “need a trust” without understanding what it actually does. We’ll walk through the differences between these tools, when each is appropriate, and how to avoid paying for more than you really need.
• Simple, affordable steps people can take now to ease the burden on their families later
• Q & A
