How to Make You Own Will Online in Oklahoma

If you live in Oklahoma, creating a will is one of the most important steps you can take to protect your loved ones and your legacy. A will helps ensure your assets are distributed according to your wishes—and not left to the courts to decide.

Today, making a will is easier than ever. With the rise of secure, attorney-designed digital tools, you can create a legally valid online will in Oklahoma from the comfort of your home. Whether you're just starting your estate plan or looking to update an existing will, this guide walks you through everything you need to know.

How much does a will cost in Oklahoma?

The cost of making a will in Oklahoma depends on how you create it. Hiring an attorney one-on-one can be costly, especially for more complex estates. But modern estate planning platforms offer more affordable alternatives without sacrificing legal quality.

At Trust & Will, our Will-Based Estate Plan starts at just $199 for individuals or $299 for couples. You can also opt into secure digital storage for just $19 per year, which makes updating and maintaining your plan easier over time.

Creating a will before you’re sick or aging can offer peace of mind—not just for you, but for your family too. And with easy access to maintain and revise your will online, staying current becomes simpler than ever.

Are online wills legal in Oklahoma?

Yes, online wills are legal in Oklahoma, meaning that you are eligible to create your will online through Trust & Will’s trusted platform. Our estate plans are designed by attorneys and state-specific. Once you complete your will online, you can either print out or ship your documents so that you can then sign, witness, and notarize them. We make this easy with simple and clear instructions.

Oklahoma Recognizes eWills on November 1, 2024

As of November 1, 2024, Oklahoma recognizes electronic wills under the Uniform Electronic Estate Planning Documents Act (UEEPDA). This means you can:

• Draft your will online

• Sign and store it digitally

• Manage updates electronically

An eWill should not be mistaken with an online will. An online will is a document that has been created online, but is then printed out and signed, witnessed, and notarized physically. The final, legally-binding document is stored in a physical location. 

An eWill, on the other hand, is a will that has been created, executed, and stored digitally, from end-to-end. Oklahoma wills can now be safely stored and accessed online, helping protect your documents from loss, damage, or misplacement. This is especially useful if your executor or family members live far away.

Trust & Will currently does not offer this product or service. However, we are always expanding and improving upon our platform to better serve our members. 

What are the legal requirements of a valid will in Oklahoma?

To be legally valid, a will in Oklahoma must meet the following criteria:

• It must be in writing (typed or electronic)

• It must state that it is your Last Will and Testament

• You must be 18 or older and of sound mind

• It must be signed by the testator (you)

• It must be signed in the presence of two valid witnesses

  • Witnesses cannot be beneficiaries

  • Witnesses must meet specific legal qualifications

At Trust & Will, we make sure all required elements are built into the process—so you don’t have to worry about anything but making your wishes known.

Can I write my own will in Oklahoma?

Yes, you can write your own will in Oklahoma. But creating one on your own without guidance can introduce risks—especially if you miss a legal requirement or leave something out.

A better option? Use a trusted platform like Trust & Will. For as little as $199, you’ll get step-by-step support, legally valid formatting, and peace of mind that your Oklahoma will template includes everything the court (and your family) will need later.

Do you need a lawyer to make a will in Oklahoma?

No. Oklahoma law does not require a lawyer to create a valid will. While some people prefer one-on-one legal counsel, many find that online estate planning offers the same legal protections—at a fraction of the cost.

With Trust & Will, you can create a will that meets all Oklahoma state requirements, with the flexibility to update and maintain it whenever life changes.

Do wills in Oklahoma need to be notarized?

No, notarization is not required for a will to be valid in Oklahoma.

However, it is recommended. Getting your will signed, witnessed, and notarized can help avoid challenges during the probate process. A notarized self-proving affidavit can also speed things up by eliminating the need for your witnesses to appear in court.

Do you have to file a will with the court in Oklahoma?

Only after the testator passes away. At that point, the will should be filed with the local probate court by the executor named in the will.

Once the will is filed, the probate process can begin (if required), and the executor can begin distributing assets according to the document.

Who inherits if there is no will in Oklahoma?

If someone dies without a will, their estate is distributed based on Oklahoma intestate succession laws. Here’s how that typically works:

• Children only (no spouse): Children inherit everything

• Parents only (no spouse or descendants): Parents inherit everything

• Siblings only (no spouse, children, or parents): Siblings inherit everything

• Spouse only: Spouse inherits everything

• Spouse + shared children: Spouse inherits half of jointly acquired property; remaining split among descendants

• Spouse + parents: Spouse inherits jointly acquired property + one-third of the remainder; parents inherit the rest

• Spouse + siblings: Same as above, with siblings inheriting the rest

Having a will in place means you—not the state—decide what happens to your assets.

What happens if a will is not filed in Oklahoma?

If a will isn’t filed after the testator passes away, it cannot be enforced. The estate will be treated as though there is no will, and assets will be distributed under intestate succession laws.

To avoid this, it’s important to name a trusted executor who will file your will with the court after your death. Once filed, the court can begin the legal process to distribute your estate.
