The energy industry either directly or indirectly has a big influence on the economies of Oklahoma and Texas.  There are many aspects that go into drilling a well from the moment a drill bit hits the ground until it ceases to produce.  Through every stage it is important to determine both the surface and mineral ownership to ensure your company is working with the rightful owners.

Many states have adopted the Uniform Probate Code (UPC), which simplifies the probate process. However, Oklahoma is not one of those states. A regular probate can take anywhere from six months Due to the amount of time involved, that usually means it can be really expensive. The only people that benefit from the increased costs are the attorneys.

One of the biggest misconceptions is that unless you are wealthy, you don't need estate planning. The reality is, not having an estate plan in place is a concern for most people, especially homeowners. Without proper estate planning, when someone passes away, the state of Oklahoma decides how the estate gets distributed. With no estate plan, any heirs or beneficiaries face long delays and a complicated probate process. Having an experienced estate planning attorney can help make sure your estate gets distributed according to your wishes. Wills and trusts let you control who gets what from your estate while saving your family from the probate process's financial burden.
