My father lived in and died in Oregon back in 1994, there was a will and it got probated in Oregon. At the time of the will we only knew of one section that’s in Hughes County. I just recently discovered that there’s more in Seminole County. What papers do I need to file in order to have what was found in Seminole County? Also I live in Oregon do I have to take a trip to file in person?

Sheryl, I’m sorry for the loss of your father. 😔
It sounds like you will probably need to have your father’s will probated in both Hughes and Seminole counties, but I’ll let someone better qualified than myself speak to that.
However, I do know for a fact that you don’t have to travel to Oklahoma to file in person. My mother (who owned mineral rights in Oklahoma) lived and passed away in Indiana, and I just had her will successfully probated in Oklahoma via a law firm in Oklahoma City.
BTW, welcome to the forum! This is a great place to find help.

You will need to have a probate done. Now, if a probate was already done, then an affidavit reflecting what happened to the property will need to be recorded in Seminole County. If you have to have a probate done, only one is necessary. Either in the District Court of Seminole County or the District Court of Hughes County, but not both.
