Today, we appeared before a referee at the Oklahoma Supreme Court for oral argument representing a district judge who retained our firm after a conflict prevented the Oklahoma Attorney General’s Office from providing representation.

The case presents an important constitutional question concerning the limits of government power.

When someone dies without a will, the family may know exactly what that person wanted to happen.

But in probate court, what everyone understood, what Dad always said, or who was “supposed to get the house” may not control.

In Oklahoma, if there is no valid will, state law decides who inherits, and the probate process determines who has authority to act, what debts must be paid, and when property can legally be transferred.

That can make the difference between a relatively straightforward estate and a family dispute that lasts months or years.

Here’s what Oklahoma families should know about probate when someone dies without a will:

TRIAL WIN! Congratulations to our clients and the Bennett Vernier trial team, attorneys Austin Vernier and Travis Vernier, on a hard-fought victory in a breach-of-contract case involving a valuable piece of real estate in Marshall County, Oklahoma.

Not only did the court rule fully in our clients’ favor, but it also awarded attorneys’ fees as a sanction for the defendant’s misconduct during discovery.

This case, filed in 2023, was a long and intense battle. Our clients delivered phenomenal testimony on the witness stand, which played a key role in the victory. After years of persistence, preparation, and outstanding advocacy, justice prevailed.

A huge well done to our clients and the entire team!

Understanding Property Division in an Oklahoma Divorce

One of the most significant issues in a divorce is the division of property and debt. In Oklahoma, courts follow equitable distribution laws, meaning that assets are divided fairly—but not necessarily equally—between spouses.
