Your mortgage, liens, back taxes, and share of current property taxes are separate from the closing costs we pay and affect what you keep.
Oklahoma estate-sale rules and documentary stamp tax
Who can sign and when a court order is needed
The court-appointed executor or administrator handles the estate. If the will directs or authorizes the executor to sell, Oklahoma law lets the executor sell without first getting a court order authorizing the sale. The sale generally must still be returned to and confirmed by the probate court before title passes, except for a specific statutory exception.
If the will does not authorize the sale, an executor or administrator appointed by the court generally must ask the district court for an order to sell estate property and give notice to interested people. Read 58 O.S. §§ 58-411 through 58-419 and § 58-462 in the Oklahoma Statutes.

Oklahoma documentary stamp tax
Oklahoma calls its deed-transfer tax documentary stamp tax. It applies to a deed conveying sold realty when consideration or value exceeds $100. The rate is 75 cents for each $500 or fraction of consideration, excluding the value of liens or encumbrances that remain on the property at the time of sale. Who pays it can be set in the sales contract. The closing agent confirms the amount and any exemption on the settlement statement. See 68 O.S. §§ 68-3201 through 68-3203 in the Oklahoma Statutes.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Oklahoma documentary stamp tax.
