## Opinion text

KAUGER, Justice,
concurring:
I dissented in part to the majority opinion in In the Matter of the Estate of Pope, 733 P.2d 396, 401 (Okla.1986), rev’d, 485 U.S. 478 , 108 S.Ct. 1340 , 99 L.Ed.2d 565 (1988) because of the principle expressed in Cate v. Archon Oil Co., Inc., 695 P.2d 1352, 1356 (Okla.1985). I join the majority here for the same reasons.
