UEEPDA becomes effective, authorizing electronic execution of wills, trusts, and powers of attorney in Oklahoma.
Okla. Stat. tit. 84, §41 et seq.
Witnesses: 2 required
Two attesting witnesses, each of whom must sign at the end of the will at the testator's request and in the testator's presence (84 O.S. §55(4)). The statute does not require witnesses to sign in each other's presence; doing so is best practice for evidentiary clarity.
Notarization: Recommended
Not legally required, but recommended for self-proving affidavit
Holographic will: Valid
Handwritten wills without witnesses are recognized in Oklahoma
Self-proving affidavit: Available
Allows the will to be admitted to probate without witness testimony
State-specific notes
Witnesses: None required
No formal execution requirements beyond settlor signature; notarization strongly recommended when funding real property
Notarization: Recommended
Not legally required for the trust document, but needed to transfer real property
Okla. Stat. tit. 58, §§3001-3045
Witnesses: None required
No witnesses required for power of attorney
Notarization: Recommended
Notarization is not legally required but is recommended. It creates a presumption of genuine signature and simplifies third-party acceptance.
State-specific notes
Okla. Stat. tit. 63 §3101.1 et seq.
Witnesses: 2 required
Two witnesses required, each eighteen years of age or older. Okla. Stat. tit. 63, §3101.4(A).
Notarization: Not required
Notarization is not required but may be accepted
State-specific notes
$29/year unlocks the documents below alongside the four free ones above. Your answers and documents are saved privately to your account, encrypted in your browser, so you can revise them any time life changes.
Disposition of Remains Authorization
Names the agent who controls funeral, burial, or cremation decisions, with optional preferences.
HIPAA Authorization
Stand-alone PHI release that survives death for the period you specify, separate from the in-life authorization in your healthcare directive.
Nomination of Conservator
Pre-nominates the person you want a court to appoint if a conservator (or guardian of the estate) is ever needed.
Business Succession Declaration
Identifies your interests in any closely-held businesses and how they should be transferred or wound down.
Real-Estate Retitling Checklist
Step-by-step instructions for transferring real-property deeds into your trust so the trust actually controls those assets.
Letter of Instruction
Non-binding personal note to your executor and family: where to find documents, account access, funeral wishes, and other practical guidance.
Free vs. paid
Oklahoma has adopted electronic will legislation (2024). You may be able to create, sign, and witness a will electronically using approved methods.
Oklahoma has adopted RUFADAA (2024). This is the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act, which lets your executor, trustee, or agent access your email, social media, cryptocurrency wallets, cloud storage, and other digital accounts after death or incapacity.
To take advantage of RUFADAA, your will, trust, or power of attorney must explicitly grant authority to access digital assets. Without explicit authorization, service providers can deny access even to a court-appointed executor.
Oklahoma authorized RON in 2019.

Oklahoma allows remote online witnessing for all estate planning documents. Witnesses can observe your signing over a live video call instead of being physically present. Uniform Electronic Estate Planning Documents Act (Okla. Stat. tit. 84, §§911-927) authorizes electronic witnessing in "electronic presence" (§920) for non-testamentary documents listed in §912(5): trusts, durable POAs, advance directives (including health-care POA, directive to physicians, living will, MOLST), and records directing disposition of remains. Effective Nov 1, 2024.
