Comprehensive Legal Services in McAlester, OK
Pat Layden Law Firm, P.C. proudly provides our community with dedicated and experienced legal services. We have been serving the people of McAlester and Southeastern Oklahoma since 1987. Our team of legal professionals is committed to providing you with the best legal representation possible.
Our firm assists clients with preparing wills, trusts, living wills, power of attorney, transfer on death deeds, and various other estate planning needs. We also help administer and probate estate cases.
Probate is the legal process that transfers the decedent's assets according to their Last Will & Testament following their death, or if there is no Will, under Oklahoma State Law. Pat Layden Law Firm, P.C. will work with the person appointed as Personal Representative to be responsible for the probate process, to inventory the estate assets and liabilities, notify any creditors of the decedent, protect the estate assets, and, finally, distribute assets to the beneficiaries according to the terms of the Will or under Oklahoma law.
Oklahoma's simple estate probate process can be completed in less than six months. However, the process can take much longer for more complex estates or if one or more beneficiaries contest the Will. Whether simple or complex, you can be confident that Pat Layden Law Firm, P.C. and its staff will use their experience and compassion to guide you through every step most reliably and cost-effectively.
