Legal Answers
Q. As the grantor on a special warranty deed, do i have the right to stop a sale by the grantee?
A: Generally no. Unless you reserved such a right in the deed, you have no interest in the property once you signed and delivered the deed.
Q. my dad committed suicide on december24,2022. im his only child,he left no will. he owned a house free and clear in ok
A: I am sorry for your loss. Unless the property was in joint tenancy or had a transfer of death deed filed, you will have to have an estate proceeding to pass good title to real property to either the heirs or to a purchaser of the property.

(They are cheaper and generally faster in Oklahoma than in California!)

Unless the minerals are very valuable, sellers typically have to rely upon the buyer's record check. As I said, most buyers are reputable. A knowledgeable attorney can direct you to reputable buyers. You should be aware that mineral values can fluctuate quickly and dramatically both up and down depending on the activity in the area. It is also not uncommon for here to be a big variance in what mineral buyers will offer. Best of Luck! ... Read More
