§58-247.
   
   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 located.
