Oklahoma § 16-63 - Notice of claim

§ 16-63. Notice of claim

(a) The notice of claim required to be filed in Section 2 hereof

shall contain an accurate and full description of all land affected

by such notice, which description shall be set forth in particular

terms and not by general inclusions; but, if said claim is founded

upon a recorded instrument, then the description in such notice may

be the same as that contained in such recorded instrument. The

notice shall set forth clearly the basis for and the extent or

nature of the claimant's alledged interest, and be signed,

acknowledged and filed for record in the county clerk's office of

the county or counties where the land described therein is situated.

The county clerk of each county shall accept all such notices

presented to him which describe land located in the county in which

he serves, and shall enter, record, and index the same in the same

way that deeds are recorded, and each county clerk shall be entitled

to charge the same fees for the recording thereof as are charged for

recording deeds. In indexing such notices in his office, each

county clerk shall enter such notices in the index of deeds and in

the numerical index of deeds. The names of the claimants appearing

in such notices are to be entered as grantees in such indexes. (b)

Recording of such notice after a purchase for value has been

effected shall not impair the rights of the purchaser for value or

the rights of the heirs, successors and assigns of such purchaser.

(c) If any person required under this act to file a notice to

protect his rights as against a purchaser for value is a minor or

incompetent or unborn contingent remainderman, such notice may be

filed by his guardian, person having custody of him, his next friend

or any person interested in his estate or any person who represents

him as attorney, agent, or in another capacity. Minority,

incompetency or other disability shall not suspend the operation of

this act.
