Oklahoma HB4339 amends probate procedure by eliminating the publication requirement for certain notices and introducing a combined notice. This notice must include details such as the decedent's name and date of death, the petitioner's information, and the estate's probable value. The combined notice must be published weekly for two weeks in a legal newspaper or posted in public places if no such newspaper exists. The bill also allows for postponement of hearings if there are defects in notice or objections are filed. The changes become effective November 1, 2026.
