Planning Is Important for You and Your Family in Oklahoma

October 7, 2015 by Larry Parman, Estate Planning Attorney, Author, Speaker

Why Oklahoma Estate Planning Is Important For Your Family Part

Planning is important – especially if you have children, property, or need to make sure you are protected from future events. A qualified estate planning attorney can assist you with the creation of an estate plan that helps you plan for any inheritances you want to pass on, guardians for your minor children, making decisions for your future and your family’s futures, and why it is necessary to begin the planning process today, not tomorrow. Our estate planning attorneys at Parman & Easterday are interested in learning about your specific situation so we can help you plan for any possibility.

One of the most important topics that estate plans allow you to address is the question of inheritance. Like many other estate planning issues, the state already has laws that determine your inheritance choices. Many people are surprised by this fact. For example, you might be surprised to learn that should you die, your spouse might inherit all or a significant portion of your property even if you specifically stated you wanted others to inherit from you specifically stated you wanted others to inherit from you.

Topics covered in this report include:

  1. Your Estate Plan and Your Inheritance Choices
  2. Guardians
  3. Decision Making
  4. Start Planning Today, Not Tomorrow

Founder and Owner at Parman & Easterday
Larry Parman's dad died at 56 in a farm accident with no estate plan. His family spent two years fighting the IRS and nearly three years in probate. That experience became Larry's life work.

Since founding Parman & Easterday in 1985, Larry has led over 1,000 free, community-service education programs and helped more than 10,000 Oklahoma families go from putting off their estate plan to getting it done. His goal for every client is the same: to become the person their family calls "the one who took care of everything."

Larry is the author of three books: The Straight Shooter's Guide to Estate Planning; Estate Planning Basics; and Guiding Those Left Behind in Oklahoma. He served as Oklahoma's Secretary of State and Secretary of Commerce, and his firm is the only member of the American Academy of Estate Planning Attorneys in the state.
