UPDATE ON WEDNESDAY, in addition to orders below from Tuesday, here is a new order just released by the Governor listing more “essential” businesses:
https://www.sos.ok.gov/documents/executive/1921.pdf
****************************
Let me preface this by stating these are the Governor’s orders, so I cannot interpret them for you. The Governor did a lot of things today, but probably the one that will require the most study is the closing of all non-essential businesses in Oklahoma City, effective Wednesday night. I’ve linked here the three documents you’ll need to fully understand that order.
First, the order itself is #20 on page 5 of this document (also pictured):
https://www.sos.ok.gov/documents/executive/1919.pdf
That document cites this link as the official list of OKC business categories that can remain open. All others are ordered by the Governor to close (with an exception to come in my next link):

This is a supplemental list of business categories that may remain open, released by the Governor tonight and intended to be read as additional to the US Dept of Homeland Security list:

The classic lawyer answer "It depends" .... But So True in this case as in many others!
With year-end fast approaching, now is as good a time as ever to review your IRA beneficiary designation forms. It may seem that naming a trust as an IRA beneficiary is a sound decision—and it can be for some individuals.
Did you know that effective Nov 1, 2016, the limit for use of a Small Estate Affidavit in Oklahoma has been increased from $20,000 to $50,000? This is great news for making things simplier and cheaper for small value estates!
Stopping by the office to catch up on mail after a week of client meetings in Kansas and pleased to see that Super Lawyers magazine has again included me on the Rising Stars list for estate planning in Oklahoma!! Pretty great to see so many familiar names on the list.
Planning for step-families or other relatively complicated situations can be HARD, but failing to to plan leaves not only the problems but also hurt feelings and damaged relationships. Don't leave your loved ones wondering how you felt, contact an advisor to discuss options that really can help balance all the different interests.
This recent headline caught our attention and reminded us of Candace. We met Candace in 2011 as part of a project studying mid-life adults whose parent or stepparent died a year prior to our interviews.
According to this new survey, 71.6% of Americans do not have an up-to-date will. Wow. I know it can seem overwhelming or morbid, but I promise I have clients tell me ALL THE TIME that it was so much easier than they thought it was going to be!!
Previous reports had up to 65 percent of Americans without a Will. We also report on out-of-date Wills and reveal that the numbers are even worse.

"The term “sandwich generation” was coined in the 1980s to describe people who are squeezed between taking care of their children and their parents. Now, as members of the baby boom generation are entering their 70s, that sandwich is poised to become a footlong."
When you’re taking care of two generations, you can’t forget to take care of yourself, too.
Getting started is the first step - most people I work with end up saying that the process turned out to be easier than they had thought it might be!
Somewhere on every grown-up person’s to-do list is an entry that reads something like “tackle estate plan”. You may even find it among your New Year’s reso
If you have children who have recently turned 18, now is the time to be thinking about durable powers of attorney for them. As adults of majority age, you as parent no longer have access to their financial or medical information without such a document. Even if they are still under your insurance, you may not be able to get access to medical information about them if they are in the hospital or injured while away at school.
