In case you are curious: The anatomy of an Oklahoma Last Will and Testament

Similar to the way the human body is made up of different parts so too is an Oklahoma Last Will and Testament.  Below is a pictorial tour of the key components of an Oklahoma Last Will and Testament: 

 

Personal Representative

Guardianship Nomination

 

 

Powers of the Personal Representative

 

Intentional Disinheritance

 

Distribution of Property

 

Attestation Clause

This is the clause that makes Will “legal” under Oklahoma law.

 

Self-Proving Affidavit

On this blog, I write about and try to answer practical Oklahoma legal questions. My focus and most experience is in estate planning and business issues including Oklahoma non-compete law. I make a living as an attorney in the law firm I founded, Shawn J. Roberts, P.C. in Oklahoma City. I live in Edmond with my wife Amy and my two children, Sam (19) and David (11). We live precisely in the path of where the "wind comes sweeping down the plains."
