Understanding the Consequences of Dying Without a Will
Intestate succession is the legal process that determines how your property will be distributed if you die without a will. In Oklahoma, if you are married with children, your spouse will inherit the first $50,000 of your estate and split the rest with your children. If you are married without children, your spouse will inherit your entire estate. If you are single with children, your estate will be divided equally among your children. These laws can vary depending on your specific family situation.
Protecting Your Assets
By creating a will or a trust, you can ensure that your assets are distributed according to your wishes. Without a will, your family may face unnecessary complications and disputes over your estate. An experienced estate planning attorney can help you create a plan that reflects your values and goals, providing peace of mind for you and your loved ones.
