Official statutory text
A. At the hearing, the court shall hear objections from all
persons who timely filed objections. If the court determines that
summary proceedings are appropriate, the court may, after proof of
payment of funeral expenses, expenses of last sickness and of
administration and allowed claims, issue an order approving the
petition for summary administration, finding that the will has been
proved as required by law, admitting the will attached to the
petition to probate, allowing the final accounting, determining
heirship and the legatees and devisees, if any, of the decedent,
distributing the property of the estate and discharging the personal
representative and surety or sureties on the personal
representative's bond, or defer such discharge if in the discretion
of the court such deferral is necessary or desirable.
B. The order of the court shall have the same force and effect
as a final decree or order rendered in any other proceeding provided
in this title for distribution of the estate of a decedent. A
certified copy of the order or a notice of the order as set forth in
Section 711 of Title 58 of the Oklahoma Statutes shall be filed and
recorded in the records of the county clerk in any county where real
property in which the decedent had any right, title, or interest is
