Notice is hereby given that a final hearing will be held on September 17, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. at the Garfield County Courthouse located at 114 West Broadway Avenue, Enid, Oklahoma, before the Honorable Sean K. Hill at the hearing the Court will decide whether to approve the PETITION FOR SUMMARY ADMINISTRATION AND FOR APPOINTMENT OF PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE, 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 September 9, 2026.

You are hereby advised that you must file objections to the PETITION FOR SUMMARY ADMINISTRATION AND FOR APPOINTMENT OF PERSONAL REPRESENTATIVE 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’s attorney, Edna Mae Holden, of GUNGOLL, JACKSON, BOX & DEVOLL, P.C., 323 West Broadway Avenue, 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.
