If all traditional methods of searching for someone fail, i.e., Google.com, Ancestry.com, an others, it may be time to hire a detective.
If someone dies while a resident of Oklahoma and he owns some assets titled to the Decedent's name alone (there are no joint owners), whether there is a Will or not, probate must occur. Probate is necessary to legally transfer the assets to the new owners. The filing for probate is public record and can easily be found at OSCN.net.
In Oklahoma, children given up for adoption are entitled to notice of the probate and are entitled to inherit unless the child is specifically disinherited in the Will.
Good luck to you.
