Complete, Hands-On Legal Representation Throughout the Probate Process
Probate is a process intended to protect everyone's legal rights after a person's death. Unfortunately, collecting assets, collecting and paying debts, handling tax issues, and distributing assets to the right people can require numerous hearings, filings, and other steps over a period of several months or even much longer. There are many potential pitfalls. We know what to do — and what not to do.
Our attorneys' extensive knowledge of oil-and-gas law, including mineral rights and title opinions, can be a key asset if land interests and investments are part of your deceased loved one's estate. Many Oklahomans have these interests; they take many forms, and we are devoted to protecting the ownership rights of individuals and families.
