Probate

Probate is a legal process many estates must go through. If the estate assets were not transferred entirely into a trust, the pour-over will may need to be probated. When you are appointed as the personal representative of an estate, our attorneys help you fulfill your duties. These include:

• Filing a petition to open the estate and confirm yourself as the personal representative
• Posting an official Notice of Creditors in a local newspaper
• Sending a Notice of Administration to the beneficiaries and other interested parties
• Paying the estate's debts
• Distributing the remainder of the estate
• Filing a petition for discharge to close the estate

Our skilled attorneys work hard to keep the probate process moving as smoothly as possible, minimizing the burden on your time.

We have extensive knowledge of Oklahoma trust law and our attorneys provide effective guidance when you are a trustee.

Administering the estate of a living person or entity

You may choose to administer a trust or other estate instrument on behalf of yourself, another person or a business entity. For example:

• Fund your trust during your lifetime. After you set up a living trust during your estate planning, we can help you actively manage the trust assets.
• Manage a trust on behalf of another person. Our lawyers can guide you in handling a person's trust during their lifetime, helping to preserve its value until their death.
• Administer a corporate trust. If you have responsibility for a corporate estate, our attorneys can act as your agent, provide escrow services and work out defaults.
