§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.
