It is estimated that 70% of families will lose their wealth by the second generation and a stunning 90% will lose it by the third generation. Whether due to poor estate planning, a lack of financial education, or entitlement and conflict, wealth can be transitory.
Is the fear of death or uncertain legal fees preventing you from planning for the future? Does the prospect of your family engaging in costly litigation and squandering their inheritance keep you up at night? Are you curious about how to continue supporting the causes close to your heart long after you are gone?
Barrett Legacy Estate Solutions is a bespoke law firm with offices in Norman, Oklahoma. We are dedicated to helping Oklahomans preserve wealth and leave an impactful legacy for generations to come. Our approach is centered on three key values
Unnecessary taxes and expenses. Probate court. Guardianship. Fractured relationships. Unintended beneficiaries. A judge deciding what happens to your hard-earned wealth. These are all examples of the negative consequences of incomplete estate planning and the failure to have a trusted, experienced Oklahoma attorney in your corner during a legal conflict. As the old adage goes, your family could be “shirtsleeves to shirtsleeves in three generations.”
With proper Oklahoma estate planning, you can ensure a future where your family remains intact. Our process is simple:
We have a meeting in which our attorneys and staff learn about you and your family. After we have a basic understanding of what you are looking to accomplish, we quote a flat fee for our services.
If you want to move forward, we design an Oklahoma estate plan tailored to your specific goals and circumstances
Once your documents are ready to sign, we review each document with you prior to signing. We do not leave our clients in the dark to try and interpret legal language on their own. We want to make sure each client knows what they are signing and understands how their plan works.
Our Client Care Coordinator provides you with detailed instructions on how to title your property and accounts so that they align with your plan’s objectives. From there, all you must do is sign the forms required by financial institutions.
To ensure that your estate plan stays up to date in an ever-changing world, we offer a subscription-based Oklahoma estate planning client maintenance program. Included is an annual review meeting, no-charge phone calls with our team, amendments to your plan upon request, asset tracking, 24/7 access to your health care directives, and other select perks.
