Oklahoma Code § 60-1609.7

A.  Instead of furnishing a copy of the trust instrument to a
person other than a beneficiary, and in lieu of or in addition to a
memorandum of trust under subsection A of Section 175.6 of Title 60

of the Oklahoma Statutes, the trustee may furnish to the person a
certification of trust containing the following information:
1.  That the trust exists and the date the trust instrument was
executed;
2.  The identity of the settlor;
3.  The identity and address of the currently acting trustee;
4.  The powers of the trustee;
5.  The revocability or irrevocability of the trust and the
identity of any person holding a power to revoke the trust;
6.  The authority of co-trustees to sign or otherwise
authenticate and whether all or less than all are required in order
to exercise powers of the trustee;
7.  The trust's taxpayer identification number; and
8.  The manner of taking title to trust property.
B.  A certification of trust under this section may be signed or
otherwise authenticated by any trustee.
C.  A certification of trust under this section must state that
the trust has not been revoked, modified, or amended in any manner
that would cause the representations contained in the certification
of trust to be incorrect.
D.  A certification of trust under this section need not contain
the dispositive terms of a trust.
E.  A recipient of a certification of trust under this section
may require the trustee to furnish copies of those excerpts from the
original trust instrument and later amendments which designate the
trustee and confer upon the trustee the power to act in the pending
transaction.
F.  A person who acts in reliance upon a certification of trust
under this section without knowledge that the representations
contained therein are incorrect is not liable to any person for so
acting and may assume without inquiry the existence of the facts
contained in the certification.  Knowledge of the terms of the trust
may not be inferred solely from the fact that a copy of all or part
of the trust instrument is held by the person relying upon the
certification.
G.  A person who in good faith enters into a transaction in
reliance upon a certification of trust under this section may
enforce the transaction against the trust property as if the
representations contained in the certification were correct.
H.  A person making a demand for the trust instrument in
addition to a certification of trust under this section, or excerpts
of the trust instrument, is liable for damages if the court
determines that the person did not act in good faith in demanding
the trust instrument.
I.  This section does not limit the right of a person to obtain
a copy of the trust instrument in a judicial proceeding concerning
the trust.
