Built for families and owners
From a first will to multi-generation business succession, the firm is structured to meet you where your plan actually is, not where a template assumes you are.

Estate planning, probate, and elder law have a lot of acronyms and assumptions. Expect clear answers, not a wall of jargon.
Practical, no-pressure consultations
A consultation is a conversation. You leave with a clearer picture of where you stand and what your real next step is, even if that step isn't hiring this firm.
People we sit across the table from
Most of the people who walk in here recognize themselves in one of these categories. Every plan is built around the specific person, but these are the situations we see most.
Parents
With minor children, putting in place guardianship, life insurance trusts, and a plan that doesn't leave family members guessing.
Retirees & widows/widowers
Updating old plans, reviewing beneficiaries, simplifying assets, and making sure the next generation isn't sorting through chaos.
Adult children
Helping aging parents get plans in place, navigating long-term care decisions, or stepping in after a loss.
Business owners
Operating agreements, partner buyouts, succession plans, and ownership transitions that survive an emergency, not just an exit.
Real estate investors
Entity structure, deeds, and trusts that keep rental property out of probate and workable for your heirs.
Families with special needs
Planning that protects public benefits while still providing real support for a loved one with a disability.
Aaron Budd, J.D.
Founder of AB Legacy Law, PLLC and an Oklahoma attorney focused on estate planning, probate, elder law, and business law for the people who actually need it: families protecting parents, business owners protecting partners and successors, and investors protecting what they've built.
Aaron's background includes business and corporate law, and he speaks regularly on estate planning, probate, elder law, and real estate investor legal issues across Oklahoma.
A real conversation, then a clear plan, then signed documents.
Engagements start with a consultation. We send a written plan summary and quote before any drafting starts. Documents are drafted, walked through with you, and revised until they reflect what you actually want. Signing happens in one appointment with witnesses and notary handled in-house.
Common questions about working with us
Real questions Oklahoma clients ask before scheduling a consultation.
What kind of clients does AB Legacy Law work with?
Most clients fall into one of a few groups: parents with minor children who need a first plan in place, retirees and widows or widowers who want to update an old will, adult children helping aging parents, business owners thinking about succession or sale, and Oklahoma real estate investors trying to make sure their rentals don't end up in court. We work with people who want a thoughtful plan, not a template.
Do I need a will, a trust, or both?
It depends on what you own, who depends on you, and how much court involvement you're willing to accept. For some Oklahoma families a clear will plus a few decision-making documents is enough. For others, especially those with real estate in multiple counties, blended families, business interests, or a desire for privacy, a revocable living trust is usually the better fit. We have a short interactive guide that walks through the question in plain English.
How does a consultation work?
You schedule a consultation, we have a real conversation about your situation, and you leave with a clear sense of what your real next step is. There's no pressure to engage the firm if it isn't the right fit. If you do move forward, we'll outline scope and fees in writing before any work starts.
How much does estate planning cost in Oklahoma?
It varies based on what you actually need. A basic will-based plan is one price; a fully funded revocable trust with related documents is another; complex situations involving business succession or special needs planning are scoped individually. We talk dollars early, in writing, so there are no surprises.
Can you help if a loved one already passed away?
Yes. If you're navigating a probate, dealing with a trust that needs administration, or trying to figure out whether either applies, we can walk you through it. Bring whatever paperwork you have and we'll help you understand what you're looking at and what comes next.
Do you serve clients outside Oklahoma City?
AB Legacy Law, PLLC serves the Oklahoma City, Edmond, and the surrounding OKC metro, including Midwest City, Norman, Moore, Yukon, Mustang, Del City, Bethany, and Choctaw. Many estate planning and probate matters can be handled by phone, video, and email, with documents signed in person when needed. If you're an Oklahoma resident or own property in Oklahoma, we can likely help.
What's the difference between AB Legacy Law and a document service?
Online document services give you forms. They don't sit down with you, ask about your business, your kids, your second marriage, your rentals, or your concerns about a difficult relative. They also can't tell you what's going to happen at the courthouse if something goes wrong. The work here is the conversation, the strategy, and the follow-through, the documents are just the output.
