§ 58-596. Payment of unmatured, contingent, or disputed claims

Subject to the provisions of Section 5 of Title 46 of the

Oklahoma Statutes, if there is any claim not due, or any contingent

or disputed claim against the estate, the court may direct that the

amount thereof, or such part of the same as the holder would be

entitled to if the claim were due, established or absolute, be paid

into the court, and there remain, to be paid over to the party when

he becomes entitled thereto, or the court may direct that such claim

be satisfied in some other manner as determined by the court in its

discretion; or, if the party fails to establish his claim, to be

paid over or distributed as the circumstances of the estate require.

If any creditor whose claim has been allowed, but is not yet due,

appears and assents to a deduction therefrom of the legal interest

for the time the claim has yet to run, he is entitled to be paid

accordingly. The payments provided for in this section are not to

be made when the estate is insolvent, unless a pro rata distribution

is ordered.
