The Reason Seniors Need to Know Oklahoma Medicaid Guidelines

January 19, 2017 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

Understanding Estate Planning – Wills and Living Wills

January 26, 2016 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

Wills and living wills serve as key parts of almost every estate plan, but they are not as similar as their names might imply.

November 10, 2015 by Larry Parman, Attorney at Law

A pour-over will is something you may have heard about, but you may not  be sure what it does. Pour-over wills, like other types of wills, must meet specific legal requirements to be effective estate planning tools. Pour-over wills are designed to work hand-in-hand with another estate planning tool, the revocable living trust.
