2. How long does Probate Take in Oklahoma?

The probate process in Oklahoma can be frustratingly long. It can take anywhere from 9 months to over 2 years, depending upon the complexity of the estate, the number of heirs, and the speed of the local court administering the case. If the Will is being contested, probate can drag on for even longer – sometimes taking several years. And that was pre-pandemic, so now we are seeing more delays.
