Estates are Temporary (and Maybe Shorter Than You Think)

I help people when someone close to them dies. Sometimes this requires a legal estate.

Many people think this means a proceeding that goes on for years. Everyone has heard a horror story from the coffee shop. Or read about a celebrity estate that goes on forever.

I can often help clients administer a conventional estate in Oklahoma in four months or so. There are ancillary estates and other procedures that can be done even more quickly in certain circumstances. The majority of estates can be measured in months – not years.

Estates can go on for longer of course. There are a number of good and bad reasons estates take longer. I will discuss some of these more in depth in future posts.

But today’s message is short and simple. An estate is a temporary situation. And it may not last as long as you fear.
