Specialized Estate Planning Services

Cortes Law Firm understands that every family is unique. They reject the ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach, instead crafting personalized plans that reflect your specific goals and values. Their core practice areas include:

• Revocable Living Trusts: Creating comprehensive trust structures that allow assets to pass directly to beneficiaries without the time, expense, and public nature of probate court.
• Wills: Drafting clear and legally sound wills to ensure your final wishes are honored and your minor children are cared for by guardians of your choosing.
• Probate & Trust Administration: Guiding executors and trustees through the administration process with efficiency and compassion after the loss of a loved one.
• Powers of Attorney: Establishing durable financial and medical powers of attorney to ensure trusted individuals can make decisions on your behalf if you become incapacitated.
• Asset Protection: Implementing strategies to protect your hard-earned assets from creditors, predators, and potential lawsuits.

The Goal: Avoid Probate

A central tenet of the Cortes Law Firm philosophy is probate avoidance. Attorney Steve Cortes is a vocal advocate for using Living Trusts to keep families out of court. He educates clients on how the probate process in Oklahoma can be long, expensive, and stressful. By proactively planning with a Living Trust, you can ensure that your estate is settled privately and quickly, saving your heirs thousands of dollars in legal fees and court costs. If you are looking to hire an estate planning lawyer who prioritizes your family’s peace of mind, Steve Cortes is the advocate you need.
