Jim A. Lyon Law Firm

Family Law

Divorce
Premarital Agreement
Wills give individuals the option to determine what happens to their property after death. If a person does not have a will, their estate is often transferred to beneficiaries in amounts that the creator did not intend. In situations in which a person dies without a will, his or her property will be administered in accordance with the state of Oklahoma’s law of distribution. If a person is married and does not enter into a valid prenuptial agreement with a spouse, there is a great likelihood that half of that person’s estate will pass to the surviving spouse while the other half of the deceased person’s estate will be transferred to any surviving children in equal shares.

Property Law

Real Estate Litigation
Real estate disputes involve a complicated body of paperwork. Disputes frequently arise when parties are uncertain about who should be held responsible for the cost of property. When real estate disputes occur, parties often find it beneficial to obtain the assistance of a skilled attorney who can help navigate the areas associated with real estate law. These issues frequently involve many complicated property laws and regulations. Fortunately, a skilled attorney can prove particularly helpful in these situations.

When appropriate, we will seek to reach a quick and amicable resolution, whether that involves compensation for property damage or some other outcome. When two sides cannot see eye-to-eye, we are prepared to take the matter in front of a judge and jury.

Trusts and Estates

Estate Planning
Many people delay their estate planning. Some of these individuals are young and believe that they either cannot afford a will, do not have any assets that need to be distributed in a will, or are not aware that even young adults can be overtaken by accidents and serious illnesses. Without a will, there are certain laws in the state of Oklahoma that dictate how assets are distributed. A skilled estate attorney in Oklahoma City, however, has the knowledge and training necessary to help any individual, no matter his or her age, create the appropriate will.
Wills
Unforeseen Circumstances are Often Not Anticipated by Individuals Who Write Their Own Wills: There are many circumstances that a person often fails to anticipate when writing his or her own last will and testament.
Trusts
The state of Oklahoma lacks any gift tax laws, but the federal government does have laws that apply to gifts by individuals. A person is permitted by the federal government to provide beneficiaries with $13,000 a year or less without a tax being placed on the inheritance. Fortunately, trusts and wills are available to individuals who desire to pass larger amounts as part of their estate plans.
Power of Attorney
Financial powers of attorney designate which individual has the authority to make financial decisions in case that person becomes incapacitated. Financial powers of attorneys can either be limited in scope or give a designated person a broad range of powers over the incapacitated person’s financial affairs. Financial powers of attorney can also be limited in duration or infinite.
Probate
Our record of positive results includes numerous wins in complex cases, many involving estate matters and probate law issues. In one published case, 750 P. 2d. 1137, Oil and Gas Rep. 610, we appealed an oil and gas mineral rights case to the Supreme Court level and won.

Finance Law

Foreclosure
Tax Law
Federal estate taxes only apply to individuals who wish to pass on a large amount of finances to their family. Since 2013, every person in the country has the right to transfer up to $12.92 million without owing any estate taxes. There are many nuances associated with federal estate tax law including that spouses are permitted to combine tax exemptions which allows married couples to transfer over $25.84 million to beneficiaries without owing taxes.
