A holographic will is legal in Oklahoma. It is a will written completely in your own handwriting, dated and signed by you. You do not need an attorney to make this type of will. If you are 18 years old and of sound mind, you can make plans for real and personal property through a holographic will.
The will must be in writing, signed by the testator or by someone else at the testators direction and in their presence. It must also be signed by at least two witnesses. The will must be notarized.
However, Oklahoma allows you to make your will self-proving and youll need to go to a notary if you want to do that. A self-proving will speeds up probate because the court can accept the will without contacting the witnesses who signed it.
Note: You can have your holographic will witnessed, but you should NOT have it notarized. While Oklahoma accepts handwritten wills, some states do not. If you move to another state, check to see if the law allows holographic wills.
In Oklahoma, a spouse may not automatically inherit everything; distribution depends on the presence of children or parents. If no children or parents exist, the spouse typically inherits the entire estate. Intestate succession laws govern asset distribution, not guaranteeing automatic inheritance for the spouse.

In Oklahoma, at least two witnesses are required. Witnesses should actually see the maker of the will (testator) sign the will and the witnesses must sign while the testator is present. The witnesses should be told that they are witnessing the testators will, although they do not need to know what the will says.
A formal will uses prescribed language to say what you want done with your property. It is signed by the person writing the will and two witnesses. Laws about signing and witnessing this kind of will must be followed very carefully. If they are not, the will may not be valid.
In Oklahoma, the testator needs to know what they own, that they are making a will and the effect of their choices. If someone can show that the testator had dementia, was under the influence of drugs or alcohol or had other mental issues, the will might not be valid.
