Okla. Stat. tit. 12, § 12-81: Payments into court for infant or incompetent person -

Disposition.

Where any amount of money not exceeding One Thousand Five

Hundred Dollars ($1,500.00) shall be deposited and paid into any

court of record of this state by virtue of any judgment, order,

settlement, distribution or decree for the use and benefit of, and

to the credit of, any minor or incompetent person having no legal

guardian of his estate within this state, and no person shall within

ninety (90) days thereafter become the legal and qualified guardian

of the estate of such minor or incompetent person, if it appears to

the court that such money is needed for the support of such minor or

incompetent person or that it is otherwise for the best interest of

such minor or incompetent person, the court may, in its discretion,

order payment of such funds to be made to any proper and suitable

person as trustee for such minor or incompetent person, with bond,

as the court may direct, to be expended for the support, use, and

benefit of such minor or incompetent person. Such order may be made

by the court in the original cause in which the funds are credited

upon the application of any interested person; and the court may

direct the clerk of the court to make payment of the same to be made

in installments or in one lump sum as may seem for the best

interests of such minor or incompetent person.
