Lawyer for a trust.

[golddigger14s]

Does anybody know someone who can do a trust which is more secure than a will in the Lawton area?

@ratski do you know anybody??

I've been gone and out of the legal profession so long anybody I knew has retired or died, so I'm not gonna be any help.

You will need to update your trust over time.

As good as he may be, what are you going to do once he's gone? Will transitioning your existing trust to a new lawyer be cheap/easy, or will you have to 'start-over'?
(I am in this exact situation....)

I would recommend considering a 'law firm' that does this type work, with several people to work with. This avoids the 'Single-Point-Failure' for your support.

I have no suggestions, only considerations.
Good luck.

funny you should mention it...

I just got an advertisement in the mail from a firm out of OKC that is offering 4 free workshops in Lawton. Oct 3-4.

I have NO knowledge of them
I have NO financial interest in them.
Just passing on the info.

Says you can register online at: oath.law/workshops

Does anyone know how know of the costs involved?

If a married couple only has one Heir, is a Trust really needed?

IMO, no. Trusts have a multitude of different uses, but a simple Will is enough in most cases if everything is straight forward and all. I'm no expert though, this is just my opinion based on my limited knowledge.
I'm doing a Will, with, as you said, only 1 person to get it all.
