Simpler probate for small Oklahoma estates

The law raises the cap for summary probate from $200,000 to $300,000. Estates at $300,000 or less can use a faster process, which can cut time and court costs for heirs and personal representatives. The court may issue letters of special administration without a hearing when one of these is true: the person is named in the will, the person has a prior right to serve, or everyone with a higher right signs a waiver. This speeds up getting someone in place to handle the estate.
