Oklahoma § 58-29 - Contest before probate - Persons entitled
Full text of Oklahoma Oklahoma Statutes § 58-29 — Contest before probate - Persons entitled, with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 58-29. Contest before probate - Persons entitled
Any person interested may appear and contest the will. Devisees,
legatees or heirs of an estate may contest the will through their
guardians or attorneys appointed by themselves, or by the court for
that purpose; but a contest made by an attorney appointed by the
court does not bar a contest, after probate, by the party so
represented, if commenced within three (3) months from the date the
will was admitted to probate; nor does the nonappointment of an
attorney by the court of itself invalidate the probate of a will.
