Legal Question in Legal Ethics in Oklahoma

Re: if my attorney dies what happens to my file?

Every state has rules about attorney files and what must be given to the client [usually atty 'work product,--his impressions and research, drafts, etc.] are considered his not the clients. The rules also usually cover in the alternative how files are to be destroyed if clients don't want them. Serve a written request on his office for your file, if you want it, but first call your state Bar Association and ask what the rules are in this case. They should have an ethics officer who can answer your question.
