Many people have the misconception that their loved ones know how their assets should be handled in the event of an unforeseen circumstance. In reality, family members are often left in the dark about how assets in an estate should be distributed to beneficiaries. The lack of a will can lead to confusion and even heated family disputes.
At Cheadle & Associates in Tulsa, Oklahoma, we offer comprehensive estate planning solutions to protect and preserve your intentions. Part of our focus includes developing simple wills with detailed instructions outlining how you would like your assets handled in the event you die or become incapacitated. Our firm's Tulsa will attorneys are available to help you specify your estate planning goals so your family's best interests are covered.
Our firm's Tulsa will attorney, Grant Cheadle, will make sure the critical details are covered when you name the beneficiaries of your estate. Without a will, the probate court will be forced to distribute your assets when you die, not necessarily according to your wishes. Take a proactive approach and contact our law firm today to schedule a consultation.
Simple Wills Provide Long-Term Solutions
Through creating a will, you are able to address any misconceptions over how you would like your assets handled. Not only can you name your beneficiaries, but you can also designate how much inheritance or which assets your loved ones will acquire. This is also an opportunity to name a guardian for your minor children. Attorney Cheadle is available to help you take the right steps in making your wishes binding.
We will create a detailed will, so your family members know how you would like to be treated in the event you become incapacitated from an accident or from Alzheimer's disease, dementia, Parkinson's disease or another illness.
Through a medical power of attorney, you can designate a close friend or family member to make important decision about your health, if you do not have the mental capacity to do so for yourself. We are also available to help you create a living will, which outlines your desires regarding life support and end-of-life care. Similarly, we can help you appoint a financial power of attorney to make important financial decisions, if you are unable to for yourself.
Skilled Oklahoma Will Contest Attorneys
In most instances, wills are processed through probate without a problem. However, it is possible to contest a will or challenge its validity. Typically, will contests focus on the assertion that the person who created the will lacked the mental capacity or was subject to undue influence or fraud.
