  • Common types of deeds used in Oklahoma include warranty deeds, quitclaim deeds, and special warranty deeds. Each type of deed offers different levels of protection and warranties to the buyer regarding the property's title. It's essential to understand the differences between these deeds before entering into a real estate transaction.

  • A title examination is a thorough review of the chain of ownership and any encumbrances or defects affecting a property's title. In Oklahoma, a title examination is crucial before purchasing property to ensure that the title is clear and marketable, free from any liens, judgments, or other issues that could affect ownership rights.

  • To file a deed in Oklahoma, you must submit the original executed deed along with any required supporting documents to the county clerk's office in the county where the property is located. The deed must meet specific formatting and content requirements outlined by state law, including proper notarization and signatures.

  • Adverse possession is a legal doctrine that allows a person to claim ownership of land if they have openly, notoriously, and continuously possessed the land for a specified period (usually 15 years in Oklahoma) without the owner's permission. Adverse possession can affect property ownership rights and may arise in disputes over boundary lines or encroachments.

  • A property survey is a detailed map or drawing that shows the boundaries, dimensions, and physical features of a property. In Oklahoma, property surveys are often required before purchasing property, obtaining financing, or making improvements to the land. A survey helps identify boundary lines, easements, and other important information about the property.

  • Easements are legal rights that allow someone else to use or access a portion of another person's property for a specific purpose. Common types of easements in Oklahoma include utility easements, access easements, and easements for drainage or ingress/egress. Understanding easements is essential when buying or selling property to ensure that you understand any limitations or encumbrances affecting the property.
