The probate process can be complicated, time consuming, and stressful. If a loved one has recently passed away, we can help you determine estate heirs, distribute assets and pay creditors.

​

I will work with you to administer the  estate, identify and distribute assets to the beneficiaries, as well as any services for additional issues that may require the attention of the probate court.

​

Summary Probate and/or Ancillary Probate maybe available for loved ones who have passed away with estates having assets less than $200,000.00, died more than 5 years before a Petition is filed, or died with assets outside the State of Oklahoma. Summary Probates and Ancillary Probate cases take less time and are more affordable than the regular probate process.
