What is Probate?
What is Probate? Probate is the term that refers to the legal process of handling one’s estate once deceased. This process allows the deceased’s heirs to legally take possession of any assets left to them by their loved one. This is also how any creditors of the deceased get paid, and how any remaining assets are distributed. If the deceased party had a Will in place, the beneficiaries of the will receive the assets as requested by the deceased party once the Probate process is complete. If there was no will in place, the Probate process will take place and the remaining assets will be distributed to the deceased party’s heirs per the law governing the state in which the party lived.
Oklahoma the Beautiful
As an Oklahoma City-based attorney, I am centrally located in an area that allows me to travel all over the state. I regularly travel to other counties and enjoy seeing Oklahoma's beautifully varied landscapes. From the rolling hills heading to Payne County, the open farmland towards Grady County, or the beautiful Lake Eufaula on the way to Pittsburg County, I love seeing how diverse Oklahoma is in its scenery and people.
