Bought a house for son to live in while in school. I'm now selling him the house. Is there any reason to have abstract done again?
answered on Jan 23, 2022
Generally, the answer would be no. You should know everything that has happened to the title of the property. If he is borrowing money from a bank, they will require updated insurance.

A mortgage is sufficient to secure an indebtedness. Deeds of Trust are not used in Oklahoma. If there is one it is simply treated as a mortgage.
What does that mean

If the memorandum of trust was done after the death and the property was never transferred to the trust, the memorandum would not be effective. If the property was not transferred into the trust before death, an estate proceeding will have to be instituted to transfer good title to the property.... View More

You should contact the attorney who is handling the probate. If you don't feel like you are getting anywhere, you should consult with your own attorney to resolve the matter with the estate.

But my issue is that it’s no a true easement shared by other lots. It’s all on mine. Can I fence it off legally. I don’t mind a equally shared easement just not all on mine.
answered on Oct 29, 2021
It depends on what type of easements exist. If you got a title policy , it should have a list of easements. Otherwise you need to have the title reviewed to determine what rights you and others have. Contact a real estate attorney.

So he died very suddenly and without a will. We are both on the lease. A lot of stuff he gave me when he moved in. The problem he is his ex wife wants to just come in my home and take what she deems his for his kids. What are my options??
answered on Oct 24, 2021
Contact a probate lawyer as soon as you can because there are specific laws in how belongings are transferred upon death without a will.
one of the grantees is offering the property for sale. Can they legally sell it to me? I don't know if that "or" is valid on a deed.
answered on Oct 22, 2021
The person can sell you his/her 1/2 interest. You would own it with the other party. There is no definitive answer for a "and/or" designation in Oklahoma insofar as it concerns real property. If you want all of the property you must get both of the grantees to sign the deed. If either... View More
Does Betty Rainwater retain any of the land?
Does Susan Rainwater get one half of the land?

Generally, a quitclaim deed conveys all of the interest of the grantor at the time of the conveyance. However, it all depends upon the actual terms of the deed. You will have to have the deed reviewed by an attorney.

This varies greatly depending upon the use and whether the company has the power of eminent domain.

I am sorry for your loss. Wills are not effective until they are admitted to probate. The probating of a will determines that it is in fact the decedent's last valid will. In the absence of a valid will, the property is owned by all of the heirs at law. Whether there is a will or not, in... View More

If he signed a quit claim deed assigning his interest to your Mom then the house belongs to her. You should get a probate on file asap. As her only child you are her natural heir and the house should go to you but you have to have a Court determine that. Good Luck!

Not enough information to answer . What is your relationship to the house? Who are the owners? Who is in possession of the house? Contact an attorney to discuss the details and determine a course of action.
My mom and dad own my mobile home here in Oklahoma City. My dad passed away about five years ago and my mom wants to know what we need to do to put in my name.

It depends on how things are set up. If it is for the land that the trailer is located that could be a simple quit claim deed. If there is a lender involved then you will have to deal with them directly.
Can my brother sell the home?
answered on Aug 13, 2021
You will want to consult with an attorney in person with all the details. However, he can either sell you his portion or he can file an action for it to be sold if you cannot buy him out. However, generally he cannot simply sell it without you consent since you are also on the deed. However, you do... View More

Property is unoccupied. Deed says lots 16, 17, 18. Trying to buy land from John Doe and he says he has to get Sue Smith to agree. I think Mr. Doe is in danger of losing his property if Ms. Smith wanted to take it from him since the deed is and/or. Please help.

There is no clear answer on "and/or" in a real estate title in Oklahoma. To pass good title, both John Doe and Sue Smith, and their spouses, if any, would have to sign a deed.
