Wills and Probate Guidance for Families
in Midwest City, Oklahoma
Make Your Wishes Clear, and Their Next Steps Easier
Do You Really Want the State Assuming What You Would’ve Wanted?
We get it, nobody wants to think about what happens after they’re gone. But when the alternative means state law determines who is entitled to your assets and who is in charge of your estate upon your death, that in and of itself can be enough motivation to take charge of your own estate planning.
Wills and estate planning make your wishes clear and help your family understand what happens next, rather than them taking on the weight of figuring it out on their own.
At Unruh & Co., we help individuals and families throughout Midwest City navigate wills and probate with clarity and compassionate guidance. We’ll help you understand your options and create plans for the future.

Estate Planning, Wills and Probate Services in Midwest City, Oklahoma
A will allows you to clearly communicate your wishes for your assets and help provide direction for your family after you’ve passed. We’ll work together to help you understand your options and create a plan that reflects your goals, family, and assets.
Losing a loved one is hard enough without trying to navigate the legal process at the same time. Our team is here to help families navigate probate, manage the necessary (and meticulous) legal steps, and work towards settling the estate. We’ll handle all the legal details so you and your family can process this massive life event, knowing the legal side of it is handled.
A will is one piece of a larger estate plan. Our estate planning services help people consider the bigger picture and protect themselves and their assets with trusts, powers of attorney, healthcare directives, and other documents designed to protect your loved ones and wishes.
When you have mineral rights or properties, protecting what’s rightfully yours and ensuring they go to the right people after you pass is incredibly important. At Unruh & Co., we have extensive experience in mineral ownership and title examination, and we can help protect your oil & gas assets for generations to come.
The last thing you want is for property to go as unclaimed just because it wasn’t in your estate plan and family members didn’t know it existed. Otherwise, your family members will have to track down unclaimed property through the Oklahoma State Treasurer’s Unclaimed Property Division. You can protect them from having to satisfy the many legal requirements to claim those assets by having all of your assets in a will.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Many of our clients live outside of Oklahoma but inherit property, mineral rights, or other assets located here. We regularly help out-of-state families navigate probate, transfer ownership, and address legal matters involving Oklahoma assets.
In the State of Oklahoma, when someone dies without a will, the State determines how their assets are distributed. This process creates additional legal steps that may require probate proceedings. Our team will help you understand what comes next and guide you through the process.
Anytime there’s a major life event, we recommend updating your will and estate plan. This can look like a marriage, new family member, inheritance, new assets, etc. This ensures that your documents are up to date and best reflect your wishes.
Not necessarily. While wills and probate often go hand in hand, whether a will must go through probate depends on the types of assets involved, how those assets are owned, and Oklahoma law. There are estate planning strategies that help simplify (or reduce) the probate process. If you need help with wills and probate, we’re happy to explain your options and recommend the best path forward.
