Quitclaim
Oklahoma
Can a quit claim be contested after 18 years for any reason?
X is trying filing to contest
Elbert T.
Hello! I hope you are well! If X is contesting a defective or invalid deed, and the quitclaim deed has been recorded for at least five years, then the deed will be considered valid. Under Oklahoma law, an instrument (in your case, the quitclaim deed) that has not been acknowledged or which contains a defective acknowledgment shall be considered valid notwithstanding such omission or defect, and shall not be deemed to impair marketability, provided such instrument has been recorded for a period of not less than five (5) years. 16 O.S. §§ 27a & 39a. I would note that my response is limited based on the information that you have provided and that each individual situation may present its own unique issues. I hope this helps!

Quitclaim Deed
California
Do quitclaim deeds expire?
I recently inherited a piece of property from my late uncle. I have recently received a quitclaim deed for the property, but I'm not sure if it is still valid. I am interested in selling the property, but I need to know if the quitclaim deed is still valid and will not expire.
Sarah S.
A quitclaim deed typically maintains its validity over time, but there are key factors to keep in mind: Proper Execution: To ensure the quitclaim deed remains valid, it must have been correctly executed when your late uncle transferred the property to you. This usually entails the presence of a notary public or witnesses and adherence to your state's legal requirements for deed execution. Recording: For safeguarding your interests and confirming the deed's legitimacy, it should be officially recorded with the relevant government office, often the county recorder's office. Recording serves to establish a public record of the property transfer.

Lease Purchase Agreement
Arizona
Can a seller back out of a Lease Purchase Agreement without providing a reason?
I entered into a Lease Purchase Agreement with a seller for a property, where I agreed to lease the property for a certain period with the option to purchase it at the end of the lease term. However, the seller recently informed me that they have decided not to proceed with the agreement and are backing out, without providing any specific reason for their decision. I had already invested time and money into preparing for the purchase, and I am now concerned about my rights and options in this situation. Can the seller legally back out of the Lease Purchase Agreement without giving a reason, and what recourse do I have?
David U.
Quite simply, the answer depends on exactly what the LPA States either party will or will not do. Ordinarily termination or cancellation rights are expressly spelled out in contracts. This is why it is so important to have an attorney work on your documents rather than just using canned documents available on the Internet.

Release of Lien
California
Can you explain the process of releasing a lien on a property and what steps I need to take?
I recently purchased a property and discovered that there is a lien on it from a previous owner's unpaid taxes. I have been informed that I need to have the lien released in order to obtain clear title to the property. I am unsure of the specific steps involved in the release of lien process and would like to understand what actions I need to take to resolve this issue and ensure the lien is properly released.
Dolan W.
Hello! My name is Dolan and thank you so much for coming to the site. Once you’ve identified the lienholder (usually it's the county assessor), you’ll need to resolve the outstanding debt. Depending on the circumstances, this might mean paying off the unpaid taxes yourself if they were not cleared during the sale. If you’re paying the lien yourself, make sure to get documentation from the lienholder showing that the debt has been satisfied. Usually, this may just require going online to get a receipt or proof that the property has a zero balance. What else you can get is a lien release or satisfaction of lien. The lienholder is responsible for filing the release with the county recorder’s office (these are often in the same agencies), but it’s always a good idea to follow up and make sure it’s actually recorded. Let us know how else we can help! Thanks!

What type of lawyer handles property line disputes
My neighbor's are trying to steal my land
Jerome L.
Hi there, A real estate attorney—specifically one who handles property disputes and boundary line issues—is the right type of lawyer for this matter. I assist clients with these kinds of disputes by helping them understand and assert their legal rights when property boundaries are in question. Here’s how we typically approach a situation like yours: Homeowner’s Plan of Action to Establish Ownership & Defend Property Lines: Obtain the Legal Description of Your Property: Start by reviewing your deed, plat maps, and title documents. These outline the legal boundaries of your property and are critical for defending your claim. Order a Professional Land Survey: A licensed surveyor can physically mark the boundary lines and create a survey report to compare with your legal documents. This is often the first and strongest piece of evidence in a boundary dispute. Review Title History & Any Easements: We will check for any title issues, encroachments, or easements that could affect your rights or provide clarity. Send a Cease-and-Desist or Demand Letter (if appropriate): Before litigation, we may attempt to resolve the matter through a formal letter outlining your legal position and requesting your neighbors stop any encroaching activity. Initiate Quiet Title or Declaratory Judgment Action (if necessary): If your neighbors are asserting ownership or taking aggressive actions, we may file a lawsuit to quiet title or seek a court ruling on the proper boundary. Defend Against Adverse Possession or Encroachment Claims: If your neighbors are claiming rights due to long-term use, we will gather evidence to challenge that, including photos, testimony, and maintenance records. Negotiate a Settlement or Easement Agreement (if desired): Sometimes disputes can be resolved amicably without litigation, through a mutually agreed upon solution. If you are currently experiencing this issue, I would be happy to discuss your situation in more detail during a consultation. We can review your documents and help you take the right steps to protect what is legally yours. Looking forward to helping you secure your land and your peace of mind. Best regards, Jerome Lucas Newell, Esq. Real Estate & Civil Litigation Atto
