The Petitioner has alleged that Bert Leon Hinderliter, at the age of 73 years, died on May 3, 2025, domiciled in and residing in Enid, Garfield County, State of Oklahoma, and that the probable value of the decedent’s property is $80,000.00.

Stat. Ann. Tit. 58, §245, et seq.
In an Order for Combined Notice entered herein, the Court found that it should dispense with the regular estate proceedings prescribed by law, and order notice to creditors and issue an order for hearing upon the Petition for Summary Administration and for Appointment of Special Administrator and the Final Account and Petition for Determination of Heirs and Distribution of Property.
Pursuant to the Order for Combined Notice, all creditors having claims against Bert Leon Hinderliter, deceased, are required to present same, with a description of all security interest and other collateral, if any, held by each creditor with respect to such claim, to the Petitioner, Mary Beth Hinderliter, 2013 E.

Notice is hereby given that a final hearing will be held on April 4th, 2026 at 9:00 a.m. at the Garfield County Courthouse located a 114 W Broadway Ave., Enid, Oklahoma 73701 before the Honorable Judge Hill. At the hearing the Court will decide whether to approve the Petition for Summary Administration and for Appointment of Special Administrator and the Final Account and Petition for Determination of Heirs and Distribution of Property of the Petitioner. The Final Account and Petition for Determination of Heirs and Distribution of Property will be filed herein on or before April 2nd, 2026.
You are hereby advised that you must file objections to the Petition for Summary Administration and for Appointment of Special Administrator and the Final Account and Petition for Determination of Heirs and Distribution of Property at any time before the final hearing and send a copy to the Petitioner, Mary Beth Hinderliter, 2013 E. Birch Enid, Oklahoma 73701, or you will be deemed to have waived any objections. If you have no objections, you need not appear at the hearing or make any filings with the Court.
If an objection is filed before the hearing, the Court will determine at the hearing whether summary proceedings are appropriate and, if so, whether the estate will be distributed and to whom the estate will be distributed.
