Q: how do i get a quiet title ran for monies left unclaimed at the oklahoma treasury office in my deceased parents name
A: The first step is to file a claim form with Unclaimed Property. After a caseworker is assigned to your case, they'll instruct you on the documentation needed to release the funds. I would recommend reaching out to an attorney for further help if the caseworker tells you that you need to show proof of ownership, and you're unsure how to show that.
A: What you need to do is determined by the nature of the property and how it was owned. A quiet title action relates to real estate, which in Oklahoma includes mineral interests. Much of the unclaimed property in Oklahoma is from revenues from mineral interests. You will need to consult with an attorney to determine what is the best course of action. Sometimes it is a quiet title suit and sometimes it is an estate proceeding. An attorney can discuss with you the quickest and least expensive course of action. Many attorneys will offer a free initial consultation.
