6 ways to avoid Oklahoma probate after death

I counsel people who desire to avoid probate to take the necessary steps now to get it done.  Usually, that means creating a living trust and/or re-titling real property.  However, I know from experience that things are not always done before death.

For that reason, I put together a six blog post series 6 ways to avoid Oklahoma probate after death about steps you can take following someone’s death to avoid Oklahoma probate while at the same time getting to the property.  You can find all the posts here on the blog but I am also providing the collection and links to each post below:

#1 Way to avoid Oklahoma probate after death – Small Estate Affidavit

#2 Way to Avoid Oklahoma probate after death – life estate or joint tenancy

#4 Way to avoid Oklahoma probate after death – Government death benefits

#5 Way to Avoid Oklahoma probate after Death: Vehicles, Boats, Motors

#6 Way to avoid Oklahoma probate after death – Unclaimed Property

On this blog, I write about and try to answer practical Oklahoma legal questions. My focus and most experience is in estate planning and business issues including Oklahoma non-compete law. I make a living as an attorney in the law firm I founded, Shawn J. Roberts, P.C. in Oklahoma City. I live in Edmond with my wife Amy and my two children, Sam (19) and David (11). We live precisely in the path of where the "wind comes sweeping down the plains."
