The one thing to look for when selling a house without probate in Oklahoma

The one thing to look for is the type of ownership the property is held in. Below are a couple examples of what you want to see if you want to avoid probate when selling a house:

1. Joint tenancy – In this case 2 or more people own a property equally. Usually a husband and wife, John & Jane Doe, each own 50% of a house. When one dies, it is very easy to remove their name from the title. You just file a form with the county proving that one of the owners died. Then, the remaining owner can do whatever they want. The catch here is that if it does NOT say on the title that 2 or more people own the home with “rights of survivorship”…then you will have to go through probate. Without “rights of survivorship” you can’t remove a deceased person’s name unless you go through probate.
2. Trust owned property – If a property is in a trust, it is possible to sell a house without probate. The trust has its own rules dictating who has control over anything owned by the trust. The trust documents, if written by the right attorney, often have rules if the trust owner dies and who takes his/her place.
3. LLC or business owned property – If property is held in a company name and the owner of the company dies, you might be able to sell a house without probate. It depends on how the company is structured. When a company is formed it is created with rules in place which say who the owner is and what happens when that person dies in some cases.

What is the most common case?

Selling a house without probate in Oklahoma is something we have been through many times. The most common case we see is JOINT TENANCY. It is often the case a husband and wife or two or more family members own a house together under joint tenancy with rights of survivorship. If this is you….then you are in luck. We can help you sell a house without probate very easily. If you don’t have rights of survivorship, then you have to go through probate. In all honesty, probate isn’t that terrible, it just takes time and money. Fortunately, we know some very good and reasonably priced attorneys in OKC to handle this.
