Business Succession Planning in Tulsa
Coordinate Your Business Transition with Your Estate Plan
Choosing a future owner is only one part of a workable transition. Through business succession planning, we help Tulsa owners coordinate decisions about ownership, leadership, personal estate planning, and the people affected by a change in control.
A plan may address retirement, death, incapacity, a sale, or a transfer to family members, co-owners, or another successor. Making these decisions in advance can reduce uncertainty about who has authority and how the owner’s business interests fit with broader family and financial goals.

Where Estate Planning, Family Concerns, & Mediation Meet
At David C. Fisher Law Firm, PLLC, we provide estate planning, family law, and mediation services. This combination matters when a family business transition affects inheritance decisions, relationships among relatives, or disagreements about future control.
Attorney David Fisher brings experience in civil and commercial mediation to these conversations.

We give straightforward advice, including when the timing isn’t right or another qualified professional should be involved.
Starting a Tulsa Business Succession Plan
The first conversation can identify your preferred transition, the people whose interests may be affected, and the events that require a contingency plan. You don’t need to arrive with every decision made.
Helpful information for an initial discussion may include:
- Your Preferred Outcome: Whether you’re considering retirement, a sale, or a transfer to a relative, co-owner, or key employee.
- The Current Ownership: Who holds an interest in the business and who currently makes management decisions.
- Existing Documents: Any will, trust, power of attorney, operating agreement, or other document connected to the business or estate plan.
- Possible Disruptions: What should happen if death, illness, incapacity, or conflict prevents the expected transition.
We explain the legal process in plain language and respond promptly when questions arise. Coordinating an estate plan also requires attention to how a Tulsa County District Court or Oklahoma probate judge may interpret its documents.
