guardianship or conservatorship.
A. Every person over the age of eighteen (18) years of sound
mind may, by last will, dispose of all his estate, real and
personal, and such estate not disposed of by will is succeeded to as
provided in this title, being chargeable in both cases with the
payment of all the decedent's debts, as provided in Title 12 of the
Oklahoma Statutes.
B. The appointment of a guardian or a conservator does not
prohibit a person from disposing of his estate, real and personal,
by will; provided, that when any person subject to a guardianship or
conservatorship shall dispose of such estate by will, such will must
be subscribed and acknowledged in the presence of a judge of the
district court. The judge before whom the will is subscribed and
acknowledged shall attest to the execution of the will but shall
have neither the duty nor the authority to approve or disapprove the
contents of the will. Subscribing and acknowledging such will
before a judge shall not render such will valid if it would
otherwise be invalid.
