Oklahoma is a dower state. In Oklahoma, the dower rights grant a surviving spouse a one-third interest in the deceased spouse's real estate if they were not conveyed during the marriage. This means that the surviving spouse has rights to a portion of the property, ensuring they have a claim to it after the death of their partner. Curtesy rights, which pertain to the husband's rights in his deceased wife's property, do not apply in Oklahoma.
