Supreme Court of Oklahoma

In the Matter of the Estate of Parker

May 2, 20232023 OK 50

Summary

The Supreme Court of Oklahoma held that Oklahoma statutes §§ 132 and 133 both apply to the estate of Ronald W. Parker, meaning the daughters are pretermitted heirs entitled to intestate shares, but the specific bequest to the brother is exempt under § 133; the trial court’s ruling was reversed and the case remanded for proper apportionment consistent with the testator’s intent.
