Official statutory text
If property is so disposed of that the right of a beneficiary to
succeed to any interest therein is conditional upon his surviving
another person, and both persons die, and there is no sufficient
evidence to establish that the two have died otherwise than
simultaneously, the beneficiary shall be deemed not to have
survived. If there is no sufficient evidence to establish that two
or more beneficiaries have died otherwise than simultaneously and
property has been disposed of in such a way that at the time of
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 58. Probate Procedure Page 137
their death each of such beneficiaries would have been entitled to
the property if he had survived the others, the property shall be
divided into as many equal portions as there were such beneficiaries
and these portions shall be distributed respectively to those who
would have taken in the event that each of such beneficiaries had
survived.
