Many people believe that estate planning is only for individuals with large estates or those who are ready to retire; however, this is far from the truth.

What Can A Tulsa Estate Planning Attorney Do For Me?
Estate planning is a process through which you can accomplish several financial goals, including:
- Provide for your loved ones in the event that you are incapacitated and you are unable to manage your finances.
- Choose what type of health care or personal care you desire and who will be in charge of making those decisions should be you become incapacitated.
- How your property will be managed during your lifetime as well as after your death.
- When and under what circumstances your property may be distributed to beneficiaries or heirs during and after your lifetime.
- How your final estate will be distributed and handled upon your death.
Many people mistakenly assume that estate planning is simply drafting a last will and testament; however, estate planning encompasses much more than just planning for one’s death. While a good estate plan is tailored to the individual and family’s level of wealth and assets, all individuals and families benefit from the services of an experienced Tulsa Estate Planning Attorney.
In addition to helping you plan for your death, an estate planning attorney can also help you draft a plan in the event that you are incapacitated due to an illness, accident or old age and you are unable to make decisions for yourself. Some common estate planning tools that the attorney will review with you include powers of attorney (i.e. durable power of attorney, limited power of attorney, etc.) and a health care proxy (i.e. medical power of attorney). These types of estate planning documents allow you to appoint an agent that you trust to make financial and health care decisions for you in the event you are unable to do so for yourself.
