A free, ready-to-sign will — but not legal advice.
This builds a complete Oklahoma will with the protective clauses most templates skip (survivorship period, residuary, minor's trust, executor powers). It becomes legally valid only when you sign it correctly (see the signing steps below). For a large or blended estate, have an attorney review it. RecordingLaw.com is not a law firm.
About you
Children
Name all your children, even any you are not leaving anything to — naming them prevents an 'omitted child' claim.
Who inherits everything else (your residuary estate)
The catch-all gift of everything not specifically given. Shares should total 100%.
Specific gifts (optional)
Particular items or sums to particular people.
Executor (the person who carries out your will)
Options
Naming them states the omission is intentional. Note: you generally cannot fully disinherit a spouse (see the warnings).
Before you sign — Oklahoma notes
Choose 2 witnesses who are adults and who do NOT inherit under this Will. A beneficiary (or a beneficiary's spouse) should never witness your Will.
Add at least one residuary beneficiary with a share above 0%. Without a residuary gift, everything not specifically given would pass by intestacy (state default rules), defeating the point of the Will.
To make this Will valid in Oklahoma: A typed/attested Oklahoma will is validly executed when the testator (18+, sound mind) subscribes the will at the end and declares to two attesting witnesses that it is his will, and the two witnesses then sign as witnesses at the testator's request and in his presence (84 O.S. § 55). To make it self-proved (so no witness testimony is needed at probate), the testator and both witnesses appear before a notary/officer authorized to take acknowledgments and administer oaths, swear to the statutory affidavit, and the officer certifies under seal. Alternatively, Oklahoma honors a fully handwritten, dated, and signed holographic will (84 O.S. § 54) with no witnesses. Notarization is not required for validity, only for self-proving.
This is a do-it-yourself Will for a straightforward estate. If you have a large or blended estate, business interests, tax concerns, a special-needs beneficiary, or want to disinherit close family, have an attorney review it. This is not legal advice and RecordingLaw.com is not a law firm.

Last Will and Testament of [YOUR FULL NAME]
ARTICLE I — DECLARATION
I, [YOUR FULL NAME], a resident of [CITY], [COUNTY] County, Oklahoma, being of full legal age to make a will and of sound mind and memory, declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, and I revoke all wills and codicils I have previously made.
ARTICLE II — FAMILY
I am not married.
If I have not named or provided for a child or other descendant in this Will, that omission is intentional and not the result of accident or mistake.
ARTICLE III — PAYMENT OF DEBTS, EXPENSES, AND TAXES
I direct my Executor to pay my legally enforceable debts, the expenses of my last illness and funeral, the costs of administering my estate, and any estate or inheritance taxes payable by reason of my death, out of the residue of my estate, without apportionment.
ARTICLE IV — TANGIBLE PERSONAL PROPERTY
I give my tangible personal property (household goods, furniture, vehicles, jewelry, collections, and personal effects not otherwise specifically given) to my residuary beneficiaries as they agree, or as my Executor determines if they cannot agree.
Oklahoma does not give legal effect to a separate personal-property memorandum, so any specific items must be listed in this Will itself to be binding.
ARTICLE V — RESIDUARY ESTATE
I give all the rest, residue, and remainder of my estate to [RESIDUARY BENEFICIARY].
If no beneficiary named in this article survives me, my residuary estate shall pass to my heirs at law under the intestacy laws of my state.
ARTICLE VI — SURVIVORSHIP
Except as otherwise provided, a beneficiary must survive me by 30 days to receive any gift under this Will. A beneficiary who does not survive me by 30 days shall be treated as having predeceased me. This protects my estate from passing through the estate of a beneficiary who dies shortly after me.
ARTICLE VII — APPOINTMENT OF EXECUTOR
I nominate [EXECUTOR NAME] as Executor of this Will.
I direct that my Executor serve without bond and, to the fullest extent allowed by law, without court supervision (independent administration). My Executor shall have all powers granted to executors and personal representatives under the law of my state, including the power to sell, lease, invest, and distribute estate property, to pay debts and taxes, and to settle claims, all without prior court approval, as my Executor deems to be in the best interest of my estate.
ARTICLE VIII — DIGITAL ASSETS
I authorize my Executor to access, manage, distribute, and dispose of my digital assets and electronic communications, and to act as my fiduciary under the Revised Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act (or its equivalent in my state), with full authority to consent to a custodian's disclosure of the content and records of my electronic communications and accounts.
ARTICLE IX — SIMULTANEOUS DEATH
If any beneficiary and I die under circumstances in which the order of our deaths cannot be established, that beneficiary shall be deemed to have predeceased me. If my spouse and I die under such circumstances, my spouse shall be deemed to have predeceased me.
ARTICLE X — GENERAL PROVISIONS
This Will shall be governed by the laws of the State of Oklahoma.
If any provision of this Will is held invalid, the remaining provisions shall remain in full effect. Words of one gender include the other, and the singular includes the plural, as the context requires. The headings are for convenience only and do not affect the meaning of this Will.

How to Sign Your Will in Oklahoma
A typed/attested Oklahoma will is validly executed when the testator (18+, sound mind) subscribes the will at the end and declares to two attesting witnesses that it is his will, and the two witnesses then sign as witnesses at the testator's request and in his presence (84 O.S. § 55). To make it self-proved (so no witness testimony is needed at probate), the testator and both witnesses appear before a notary/officer authorized to take acknowledgments and administer oaths, swear to the statutory affidavit, and the officer certifies under seal. Alternatively, Oklahoma honors a fully handwritten, dated, and signed holographic will (84 O.S. § 54) with no witnesses. Notarization is not required for validity, only for self-proving.
Oklahoma requires 2 witnesses: Two attesting witnesses, each of whom must sign his name as a witness at the end of the will at the testator's request and in the testator's presence. The testator must subscribe the will at the end (or have it subscribed in his presence by his direction) and must declare to the attesting witnesses that the instrument is his will (84 O.S. § 55).. Your will does not need to be notarized to be valid. Sign the self-proving affidavit (84 O.S. § 55) before a notary so your witnesses won't have to testify in probate.
Oklahoma also recognizes holographic (handwritten) wills, but a typed, witnessed will is far less likely to be challenged.
Can You Disinherit a Spouse in Oklahoma?
You CANNOT fully disinherit a spouse. Oklahoma uses a 'forced share' tied to JOINTLY-ACQUIRED (quasi-community) property rather than a flat fraction of the whole estate: no testator may will away from a spouse so much that the spouse receives LESS than the spouse would take by intestate succession in property acquired by JOINT INDUSTRY during the marriage. The spouse has a right of election to take a one-half (1/2) interest in property acquired by joint industry during coverture, in lieu of devises/bequests. For property NOT acquired by joint industry, the testator need not leave the spouse more than one-half. This is a notable gotcha — the protected base is joint-industry property, not the gross estate.
No-contest clauses: No-contest (in terrorem) clauses are recognized and enforceable in Oklahoma but are STRICTLY CONSTRUED against forfeiture. The prevailing rule applies a probable-cause exception: the forfeiture is not invoked where the contestant had probable cause / reasonable grounds for the contest. Generator may include a no-contest clause but should warn it will not bar a good-faith, probable-cause contest.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a will made online valid in Oklahoma?
Yes, if you sign it correctly. Oklahoma requires 2 witnesses. The document this tool creates is a standard typed will; it becomes legally valid when you sign it following the steps above.
Does my Oklahoma will need to be notarized?
No. Oklahoma does not require your will to be notarized. Notarizing the separate self-proving affidavit is optional but makes probate easier.
How many witnesses does a Oklahoma will need?
2 witnesses. Two attesting witnesses, each of whom must sign his name as a witness at the end of the will at the testator's request and in the testator's presence. The testator must subscribe the will at the end (or have it subscribed in his presence by his direction) and must declare to the attesting witnesses that the instrument is his will (84 O.S. § 55). They should be adults who do not inherit under the will.
Can I leave my spouse out of my Oklahoma will?
You CANNOT fully disinherit a spouse. Oklahoma uses a 'forced share' tied to JOINTLY-ACQUIRED (quasi-community) property rather than a flat fraction of the whole estate: no testator may will away from a spouse so much that the spouse receives LESS than the spouse would take by intestate succession in property acquired by JOINT INDUSTRY during the marriage. The spouse has a right of election to take a one-half (1/2) interest in property acquired by joint industry during coverture, in lieu of devises/bequests. For property NOT acquired by joint industry, the testator need not leave the spouse more than one-half. This is a notable gotcha — the protected base is joint-industry property, not the gross estate.
