What is Probate?

Probate is a legal process that involves the administration and distribution of a deceased person's estate. It includes validating the will, appraising assets, settling debts, and ultimately distributing the remaining assets to heirs or beneficiaries. Our probate attorneys are well versed in Oklahoma probate laws, ensuring a thorough and efficient resolution.

  • The duration of probate will vary, but it can take anywhere from months to a year depending on the complexities of the the estate and any potential disputes.

  • Probate is typically required when a person dies with assets solely in their name, and there is a need to transfer ownership to heirs or beneficiaries

  • Yes, certain estate planning strategies, like living trusts, can help assets bypass probate and transfer directly to beneficiaries.

  • If there is no will, Oklahoma's intestate succession laws determine how assets are distributed. The laws prioritize spouses, children, and other close relatives.

  • Oklahoma does not have an estate tax, but there may be federal estate tax implications. Consulting with a tax professional is advisable for a comprehensive understanding of tax obligations.
