Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Common Trust Questions
What is an Estate Plan?
An estate plan is the plan you set up, while you have capacity (thinking clearly) to protect yourself and your assets while you may become incapacitated (power of attorney and healthcare power of attorney) and at your passing from this life (Trust, will, final instructions).
Why do I need a Trust if I have a will?
A will does not offer protection from probate. Probate is the very expensive, Court-led process of changing the ownership of your assets after you pass to a living person. With a trust, you can place your assets in Trust and then designate a Trustee (after you die) who can easily distribute your assets to the people you designate.
Why can't I just put my kids on the deeds?
Transferring your interest for your house or other titled assets can work, but only if you word everything properly. Also, for some people, they do not want to have ownership in real property that they do not benefit from - it can mess up your taxes.
What about my vehicles?
Oklahoma has a transfer on death document to easily transfer title to your loved ones or to put it into your Trust at your passing.
Criminal Defense Common Questions
What happens when I am charged with a misdemeanor?
The anatomy of a misdemeanor case is Arraignment (first appearance, this is when the Judge will insist you have an attorney). When you have an attorney before Arraignment, the attorney can actually call to set your case for Jury Trial Sounding Docket (JTSD). At the JTSD date, the attorney will find out what the State recommends for you as a punishing sentence. Misdemeanors have a range of punishment of a fine, or 10 days to one year in jail. At this point, you can set the case for an Allen hearing, to make sure you have all the discovery. Then, you can decide to either take the deal offered by the State, set the case for Jury or a Bench Trial. A good attorney will try to negotiate the best deal possible.
How much do you charge for criminal cases?
Yes, most misdemeanor cases are $1,200, which includes everything up to trial. Most simple felonies are $2,100 up to District Court Arraignment (DCA).
The facts of a case can greatly affect the price.
Trial is a separate cost.
Do you take payments?
Yes, we will take payments as long as you have a plan for payment. We will put a case on the calendar after the initial payment of at least $300.
What happens when I am charged with a felony?
The anatomy of a felony case is Arraignment (first appearance, this is when the Judge will insist you have an attorney or you can ask for a public defender).
At Arraignment, your case will be set for preliminary hearing within the next month.
At Preliminary Hearing, the State has to bring enough witnesses to show that a crime was probably committed and you probably committed it. Depending on the facts, you may waive prelim. At this point, the State has probably given your attorney a rec (recommendation) of a plea deal that you may consider within the range of punishment.
After preliminary hearing, you will go before a District Judge for another arraignment (DCA). At this point, you have to either take the deal, set the case for Jury or a Bench Trial, blind plea, or waive jury. A good attorney will try to negotiate the best deal possible.
But aren't Trusts for people with a lot of money?
No, this is the great myth about Trusts. If you have real property (land, mineral rights, etc), these cannot pass out of probate.
But aren't Trusts really expensive?
No, probate is expensive; the least you will spend on probate is probably $3,500 and that is a basic probate where nothing goes wrong. In contrast, we customize Trust packages to meet your needs and your budget.
What about untitled assets?
We provide a plan for all your assets, whether titled or untitled.
I have a Trust, but I need to update it.
Fantastic! We do free estate plan audits to help you stay up-to-date on legal changes and update your estate plan.
What is discovery?
Discovery is the evidence that the State has gathered in order to charge you with a crime. The State is required to turn over all the evidence they have against you and that it will use at trial.
What is a deferred sentence?
A deferred sentence is a set period of time when you are on probation and you have to plead guilty to the crimes charged; but the Judge will defer a finding of guilt until you have successfully completed probation (taken classes, paid fees and court costs). At that time, when you have successfully completed probation, the Judge will dismiss and expunge your case. You can get a deferred sentence on a misdemeanor or felony as long as you have no criminal history. If you are not successful (don't pay fees/costs or catch another criminal case), your sentence can be accelerated to a suspended sentence where you will not be able to get the case dismissed and expunged.
What is a suspended sentence?
A suspended sentence is when you plead guilty and are sentenced to a length of time, but it is suspended, meaning you will be on either supervised or unsupervised probation for a time. If you do not pay your fees/fines or catch another case, your suspended sentence can be revoked and you might spend the rest of the time in prison.
What is a range of punishment?
Every criminal charge has a certain range of punishment set by the Oklahoma legislators. You can find the range of punishment either in the statute you are charged under (example 21 O.S. 791) or referenced in it. The State cannot charge more than the range unless it is a deferred and in that case, they can give you more time than is in the range.
