We just went to the Grant County courthouse a week ago to research some shared land we have with another relative. Found 23 acres that the deed had never been transferred back in the 50's when it went through probate that is now ours through various wills that contained a legal clause for items not listed or forgotten. The lawyer we went to today verified what we researched with the court clerk.Could be really simple.
Go to the court house and look at the county records and see who actually owns it.
If you know the guy that owns it personally and know he is not a liar or a thief you could just go to the county courthouse and transfer ownership.
That is if there are no liens on the property.
Records in the courthouse will show any liens.
It is called a: Quit Claim Deed.
I have bought and sold houses and property using that Deed.
You only pay court costs to file it.
Most I ever paid was $23
Yes twenty three dollars.
Most of the time it was 2 bucks.
That is correct. All minerals below 12" belong to the tribe as well as surface minerals, meaning rocks.To the best of my knowledge, Osage county doesn’t have mineral rights. They’re owned by the tribe. I was told I can’t even sell boulders off my property.
The US Government gave them that right in treaty's that the supreme court has ruled still valid.Dumb stuff like this is why no one wants to deal with tribes.
I am actually a manager for the closing side of a title company. Like many others say, I would highly recommend going through a title company, or at the very least get the abstract updated and have an attorney complete a title opinion. I am biased because I have to fix issue all day everyday and I can assure you title issues are a lot more prevalent than you would think. Our biggest issue we run into is deceased owners and the property not being sold property/legally. Even when probates are completed, they are often done incorrectly as they have a very strict guideline and timeline to follow. And just because grandma put the house to you in her will absolutely does not mean that individual has the right to sell the property unless it was left to them in a trust or by transfer on death deed. Liens and judgements also stick with properties. I have people purchase property on a quit claim deed that end up finding out there are $100K+ in tax liens against the property that was only work $40K, so you are taking a huge gamble with an "as-is" quit claim deed. I personally purchase title insurance on everything I have bought, but again, I am probably biased. If you have any questions I am happy to help. Good luck to you whichever route you chose!I just got a call from the property owner of the land right next to us. Super excited as he agreed to a purchase price.
We have the cash on hand, but now what? Do I need a realtor and escrow company?
If there’s anyone with experience purchasing land right next to yours, please PM me. It’s about 2 acres but secures our view of the lake cove we’re on. Just made our day as we’ve wanted to purchase this land since we moved in.
I know.....Note to self do not buy land in Osage County.
I love rocks and boulders.
