The figures on this page are general estimates. Laws, fees, thresholds, and prices differ by state and change often, and your own situation may change the result. Before you act, confirm the current numbers and rules for Oklahoma with a licensed professional — an attorney, tax advisor, or licensed agent as appropriate. Reading this page does not create a professional relationship.

Oklahoma probate fees
| Item | Oklahoma |
|---|---|
| Attorney fees | Not fixed by a statutory percentage. |
| Executor / personal representative fees | No Oklahoma figure is stated in this field. The governing provision is §527:. The figure previously stated here was never verified against a statute or an independent publisher: its only source was a commercial reproduction of the code, and Oklahoma law cannot be read at a primary source from the environment this page was checked in. It is recorded in data/withdrawn-figures.json as ok-executor-fee-rule, so it cannot return to any page without failing the build. |

Worked example
No worked figure is stated here, because the schedule it would rest on has not been read at a primary source. Okla. Stat. tit. 58, §527 could not be read at a primary source from this environment on 2026-09-27: the Oklahoma State Courts Network serves its section pages behind a Cloudflare Turnstile challenge (HTTP 201), and the Senate's Title 58 PDF yields no extractable text. The percentages stated in the rule above are therefore unverified, and this page does not compute a commission from them. The estate's attorney is compensated separately.
Oklahoma thresholds and deadlines
| Item | Oklahoma |
|---|---|
| Small-estate threshold | 58 O.S. §393(A)(1) measures on "the fair market value of property located in this state owned by the decedent and subject to disposition by will or intestate succession at the time of the decedent's death, less liens and encumbrances" and sets it at Fifty Thousand Dollars; §393(A) runs ten or more days after the date of death, and (A)(4) requires that all taxes and debts of the estate are paid, provided for, or barred. Separately, 58 O.S. §241 dispenses with the regular proceedings where the value of the whole estate, real and personal, does not exceed One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars — that route operates after a probate petition is filed and a personal representative appointed, rather than avoiding probate. |
| Creditor claim period | The personal representative must file notice to creditors within two months of issuance of letters, and the claim presentment date must be at least two months after that notice is filed, under 58 O.S. §331. |
| Statutory floor (creditor period) | The personal representative must file notice to creditors within two months of issuance of letters, and the claim presentment date must be at least two months after that notice is filed, under 58 O.S. §331. |
| Simplified real-property transfer | Estates valued under $150,000 may use summary administration under 58 O.S. §241, which compresses notice and hearing steps and can settle real property far faster than full probate. |
| Transfer-on-death deed | No Oklahoma figure is stated in this field. The governing provision is §1251. The figure previously stated here was never verified against a statute or an independent publisher: its only source was a commercial reproduction of the code, and Oklahoma law cannot be read at a primary source from the environment this page was checked in. It is recorded in data/withdrawn-figures.json as ok-tod-deed, so it cannot return to any page without failing the build. |
