Answer:
84 Okl. St. § 42 reads:
“A married woman may dispose of all her separate estate by will, without the consent of her husband, and may alter or revoke the will in like manner as if she were single. Her will must be executed and proved in like manner as other wills.”
In the given instance, you may transfer the property to your sister by will without the consent of your husband.
