§58-719.1.
   
   In all proceedings for the administration of estates of deceased
   persons, or for the probate, or interpretation, of wills of deceased
   persons, in all courts of this state, wherein it appears from the
   petition for admission of a will to probate, or from the petition or
   other pleading asking for the interpretation of a last will and
   testament, that the State of Oklahoma is named as a beneficiary in
   such will, or wherein it appears from the petition for appointment of
   administrator, or otherwise, that an intestate left no spouse or
   kindred surviving, or that it is not known whether or not the
   intestate left a spouse or kindred surviving or that the names and
   whereabouts of the spouse or kindred, if any, of the intestate are
   unknown, or wherein it otherwise appears that the State of Oklahoma
   is, or may be, entitled to share in the distribution of the estate of
   the decedent, any and all notices provided for by statute to be
   served, personally, or by mail, upon persons or parties interested in
   the estate shall be served upon the State of Oklahoma by mailing true
   and correct copies of such notice, by registered mail, postage
   prepaid, to the Governor of the State of Oklahoma, and to the Attorney
   General of the State of Oklahoma, Capitol Building, Oklahoma City,
   Oklahoma, and, where the jurisdiction of the court to enter a
   judgment, order or decree in such cases depends upon the giving of
   proper notice to all persons or parties interested in an estate, such
   jurisdiction shall not vest in any such court, as to the State of
   Oklahoma, unless and until the notice provided by law has been given
   to the State of Oklahoma in the manner prescribed herein. If the
   notice provided for herein be given in the manner prescribed herein,
   the jurisdiction of the court, as to the State of Oklahoma as a party
   entitled to share, or possibly entitled to share, in the distribution
   of the estate of the decedent, shall be the same as it is as to other
   persons or parties entitled to share, or possibly entitled to share,
   in the distribution of such estate, when properly served with notice
   required by law.
