  2. Title 58

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.
