Focused representation for oil and gas mineral probates and carefully structured estate plans — serving clients nationwide.
I represent individuals, families, and attorneys with Oklahoma mineral interests and estate planning needs. Approximately half of my practice is devoted to mineral probates and title issues involving oil and gas interests, royalties, and inherited mineral rights, with the remainder focused on estate planning.
Oklahoma Mineral Probate — Oil & Gas Focused
Mineral probates are not routine probate matters. Oil and gas interests require precise handling to avoid title defects, suspended royalties, and future conveyance issues. I routinely handle Oklahoma mineral probates for out-of-state heirs and for attorneys seeking reliable local counsel. We have helped clients across the U.S. including California, Washington, Texas, and numerous other states. We even helped clients living as far away as Canada and Germany.

Probate
Probate does not need to be difficult for a client. Many estates can be handled with limited client involvement. Often this can be done without the need for office or court visits.
