Legal Question in Family Law in Oklahoma
divorce, estate, probate
My dad was in the middle of a divorce and he passed away suddenly. Do the courts take the fact that he was getting a divorce into account in appointing the administrator of his estate? No will. No nothing. Does she get everything? BTW, she was appointed the Administrix to his estate.

Re: divorce, estate, probate
The court may consider the fact a divorce was pending, but it will also recognize it was not complete, therefore she was at that time legally married. Division of the estate, without a will, should provide some portion to you, so it is unlikely she will "get everything"; however, you may want to consider an attorney for representation of your interests if you believe your interests may not be properly represented.
