For years, families with significant wealth planned around a deadline that never came. The federal estate tax exemption was supposed to be cut roughly in half after 2025, and many Oklahoma estate plans were built, or rushed, to beat that cliff. Congress removed it instead. If your plan was designed for rules that no longer…
Filing your business with the Oklahoma Secretary of State takes about ten minutes online.
