Title Examination Standards
Chapter 1, App.
Chapter 14. Limited Liability Companies
§ 14.9 Recital of Identity, Successorship or Consolidation

Unless there is some reason disclosed of record to doubt the truth about the recital (e.g., the recordation of a conflicting certificate prepared pursuant to 18 O.S. §2007), then after September 1, 1993, a recital of identity, successorship or consolidation by limited liability company merger or limited liability company name change (e.g., the limited liability company was formerly known by another name) may be relied upon if contained in a recorded title document properly executed by the surviving or resulting entity.

Authority: 18 O.S. §2019.1 (effective September 1, 1990); 18 O.S. §1144 (effective November 1, 1987), § 1088 and § 1090.2 and 54 O.S. §§ 1-907 and 310.1.

Comment: While there seems to be no exact precedent for this Standard, it is justified as a parallel to Standards 5.3, 12.4, 13.8 and as an extension of Standard 12.1.

The 2003 Report of the Title Examination Standards Committee recommended adding Standard 14.9 to this chapter. 74 O.B.J. 2801 (10/11/03). the Real Property Law Section approved the amendment, Novmeber 13, 2003 and the House of Delegates adopted it November 14, 2003. 74 O.B.J. 3231 (11/22/03).

The 2021 Title Examination Standards Sub-Committee of the Real Property Law Section recommended the following editorial changes to the Title Standards as they appear on OSCN to bring the printed handbook and OSCN into conformity. The Real Property Section approved the proposal, and the House of Delegates adopted the amendment on November 12, 2021. (superseded document available)
