Oklahoma City Probate Lawyer

Persuasive Negotiators & Aggressive Litigators

Probate is a legal proceeding where the affairs of someone who has died are taken care of under the supervision of a court. Probate is often the only way that legal titles of most assets will pass from the deceased person (the “decedent”) to their family. The decedent’s will provides a road map of how they wanted things handled. Even if no will was made or is available, the court proceeding is still necessary.

What Is Probate?

Probate evolved under the laws of England and later the United States to allow for the orderly administration of the affairs of the decedent. It’s easy to imagine that in the past, family, friends, and creditors of the decedent may have fought over that person’s assets.

Sadly, that same risk of conflict still exists today. Fortunately, the state of Oklahoma has some very effective laws to ensure that the decedent’s assets pass to his/her heirs according to the decedent’s will. If the decedent had no will, then Oklahoma law determines who will receive the assets and how the decedent’s estate will be administered.
