Probate Attorney

Effective Probate Attorney Representation in Oklahoma

Probate is a court process necessary to validate your will and authorize the executor you name or to divide one’s property if they die without a will.

At the Terrell Law Firm, our probate attorneys provide effective legal counsel and professional representation to individuals and families during the probate process. We assist beneficiaries and executors throughout the entire process of settling an estate. This may come in the form of identifying and paying debts, filling out documents required by the court, providing assistance during the appraisal process, and completing other duties.

We also represent your heirs and beneficiaries in estate planning litigation, including challenging a will, an administrator, or an executor’s actions.

We offer some of the following probate services to clients in Oklahoma counties:

• Small estate affidavit
• Contested probate
• Traditional probate
• Ancillary probate
• Summary administration

Do you need to hire an attorney for probate?

Oklahoma law doesn’t mandate the personal representative to have an attorney. It is highly recommended you have one, though, as the probate process and statutes are complex and technical. A seemingly small number of errors may result in you having to start the process again, creating more problems for the heirs and beneficiaries of the will.

So, it is wise to consider what is best for everyone involved and hire an attorney for the probate process, as failure to do so may result in legal liability.

The Terrell Law Firm is here to remove any stress and uncertainty associated with the probate process. We will explain the Oklahoma probate process to guide clients as they work through the paperwork to attend court proceedings.
