Oklahoma Probate Attorney

Your savings and your assets are an important part of your power to help others. They are your power to guide, lead, comfort and support those you love and value in your life. This power should be used with great care, with the most wisdom that you can bring to bear. This power should not be stolen, wasted, nor left to chance.

If you share these beliefs, I have tools to help you fulfill your right and obligation to carefully share your financial power. Your Trust and your Will can, and should, be carefully crafted with this end in mind. Make a plan. Start today.

When Is Probate Necessary?

When someone dies with a will, the will must be proven, and in order for it to be proven, it must be probated in court. Many people operate off of the assumption that the family members and friends of a deceased individual can simply divide the property in accordance with the wishes stated in the will, but this can lead to all kinds of legal problems, disputes, and arguments. In order to ensure that an individual’s property is truly handled in accordance with their wishes, the probate process must occur. Unfortunately, this process can be challenging and time-consuming, with a number of technical aspects that for the most part, only experienced probate attorneys are suited to deal with. The probate attorneys at Oklahoma Estate Attorneys, PLLC in Oklahoma City, and Edmond, OK are here to help.

In dealing with a will, the first order of business for the probate court is to deem the will valid.

Once appointed by the court, the personal representative will take on a number of responsibilities, including the following:

While all of this may seem overwhelming, an experienced probate attorney in Oklahoma City, OK will be able to explain the ins and outs of every step and ensure that everything is completed an accurate and timely manner.
