Probate

Probate services in Tulsa and surrounding area

Have you recently experienced the death of a family member or close friend? Are you trying to figure out what to do about their assets? The process can be somewhat confusing. During this difficult time, emotions are high, and occasionally family relationships can even be at stake.

Is probate necessary?

Not in every case. Probate may not be necessary, depending on the size of the estate, whether it includes real property and how it was titled. In proper circumstances, Oklahoma has an affidavit for collection of personal property valued at less than $50,000.

What does a probate lawyer do?

If probate is necessary and the deceased left a will, you need a probate lawyer to take the proper steps and execute their bequests. If there is no will, you will need an experienced attorney to value the estate, determine beneficiaries, and distribute assets legally.

A properly drafted trust can avoid probate, but still often raises questions on distributing and terminating the trust. You also need to be certain that assets were not left out of the trust.
