Is Probate Required in Oklahoma? 

Yes. Probate is required in Oklahoma if the estate is worth more than $50,000, excluding real estate. If the total value of the estate is less than this amount, you may be eligible to transfer assets in a Small Estates Affidavit. Our lawyers can evaluate your case with a practiced legal eye to determine if probate is necessary and help you minimize time and money in the courtroom when possible. 

Is Property Divided 50/50 in an Oklahoma Divorce?

No, not necessarily. Oklahoma follows the equitable distribution rule, meaning that family courts seek to divide marital assets equitably during a divorce. However, what is equitable is not always equal. Family courts retain broad discretion and consider various factors to determine an equitable division of marital property, including the duration of the marriage and each spouse’s age, health, marital contributions, education, employability, income, and debts. Our attorneys are well-versed in these legal nuances to protect your hard-earned assets and advocate for your fair share. 

I Was Arrested for DUI on NW 2^nd Street. Where Will My First Court Appearance Be? 

If you were arrested for DUI on NW 2^nd Street, your first court appearance will likely be at the McClain County District Court. This courthouse is located at 121 N. 2^nd Avenue, Purcell, OK 73080 and handles most felony and misdemeanor DUI cases that occur within McClain County. Consulting a qualified defense lawyer is paramount to appearing at the correct courthouse, understanding your legal options, and complying with local court processes and deadlines. 

Where Should I File for Divorce if I Live in the Bridge Creek School District?
