Probate Involving Real Estate
Attorney Jim Lyon specializes

There are many types of individuals who require legal assistance with navigating the complicated issues that can arise concerning real estate. For example, nearly all individuals who are interested in estate planning own some type of real estate. Cases involving real estate, however, present unique challenges because in many cases the property must be sold. If these property issues are not properly handled, individuals can face obstacles related to the property for the rest of their lives.

Real Estate Legal Services
At the Jim A. Lyon Law Firm, we represent clients in all aspects of real estate law throughout Oklahoma City and beyond. We understand the nuances of both residential and commercial property matters, including those involving oil and gas holdings or inherited estates.
Our experience covers a wide range of real estate legal services, including:
1. Real Estate Transactions and Closings
Purchasing or selling property is one of the most significant financial decisions you will make. Our real estate lawyer in Oklahoma City reviews and prepares all documents related to the transaction, ensures clear title, handles escrow arrangements, and coordinates with lenders and agents to facilitate smooth closings. We identify and resolve potential legal issues before they become costly disputes.
2. Title Examination and Title Opinions
Title problems can delay or derail a real estate transaction. We conduct thorough title examinations and issue legal opinions that confirm ownership and identify any liens, easements, or encumbrances affecting the property. Our law firm has extensive experience in examining titles, including those involving complex oil and gas interests and surface rights.
3. Contract Drafting and Review
Contracts form the foundation of every real estate deal. We draft, review, and negotiate purchase agreements, leases, deeds, and financing contracts to ensure that your rights are protected and obligations are clearly defined. Our legal guidance minimizes the risk of disputes and provides clarity for all parties involved.
4. Land and Boundary Disputes
When property lines or easements are disputed, legal action may be necessary. We represent property owners in resolving land and boundary issues, encroachment claims, and adverse possession matters. Our approach combines careful document review, land surveys, and negotiation to pursue the most favorable outcome.
5. Oil, Gas, and Mineral Rights
Oklahoma properties often include mineral interests that complicate ownership and transfers. As part of our real estate practice, we handle oil and gas title issues, royalty disputes, and transactions involving mineral rights.
