Trusts Lawyers in Tulsa
Respected Estate Planning Professionals
In addition to writing a will, Oklahoma residents may also wish to include a trust in their estate plan. A trust is designed to hold assets for the grantor or for beneficiaries chosen by the grantor. Management of the trust is left to one or more trustees who must ensure it functions according to the instructions the grantor has given.
Our Tulsa trusts attorneys understand that the estate planning process can be difficult to navigate. When establishing a trust, it is important to ensure that it is set up correctly, funded properly, and administered legally. The Colpitts Law Firm is experienced in helping clients set up trusts that meet all the legal requirements.
For peace of mind regarding the proper preparation of your trust, call (918) 302-2662 to speak with our qualified attorneys.
Funding a Trust
The process of transferring your assets into your trust is known as funding your trust. This involves changing the titles of your assets from your name to the name of your trust. You may wish to add all assets to your trust or leave some out.
Assets to consider leaving out of your trust include:
- Out-of-state property
- Contaminated property
- Life insurance
- Automobiles
- IRA and other tax-deferred plans
- Incentive stock options
What goes in your trust is totally up to you. Depending on your circumstances, there may be certain assets that are best left out of the trust. A qualified attorney can help you make decisions regarding questionable assets.

"THE BEST LAW OFFICE IN OKLAHOMA!"
My husband and I are transplants to Oklahoma from Florida and were so blessed to be referred to Greg and his law office. Not only did he handle our bankruptcy and got it discharged in 6 months, but he also helped us along the way with every step and gave the absolute best, and honest advice in our opinions. We had been working and paying another attorney in Florida for over 2 years and he didn't do half of what this office did in 6 months! If you need a trustworthy and professional law office to handle your case, please give this office a call. You will not be disappointed! They are a 5-star office and staff for sure!- The Noles
