Ary Brown Law, PLLC

11/04/2026

Did you know that certain contracts are not enforceable in Oklahoma unless they are in writing & signed by the parties? Under 15 Okla. Stat. s. 136, the most frequently encountered of these are (1) contacts that cannot be completed in one year, and (2) contracts affecting the sale or lease of real estate that take longer than a year to complete. In practical terms, this means leases or other contracts longer than a year and rent to own contacts must be in writing. For example, if it takes more than a year for you to pay the full purchase price, the landlord in that rent to own handshake deal can ignore what he/she orally agreed with you and sell the property out from under you.

If you have any of these oral/handshake deals, contact Ary Brown Law, and I can get you the paperwork needed, so no one can back out on your deal. As much as I hate to say it, the world is not the same as it used to be.

SCAM ALERT: a family member of mine just received the below by text message. This is a scam!

Except in very, very rare circumstances, Oklahoma courts WILL NOT communicate with you by text message. A legitimate traffic or toll violation notice for a violation caught on camera would be mailed to the address of record for the vehicle owner. All other violations would be issued to you in person by a police officer. Other signs to alert you that this is a scam: (1) there is no offender name anywhere on it; and (2) you cannot look up the case number on OSCN.net, which is the official website for Oklahoma district courts.
