Chapter 1, App.
Chapter 29. Simplification of Land Titles Act
§29.5. Effective Date of the Act.

The Simplification of Land Titles Act became effective October 27, 1961. Notices under the Act required to be filed within one (1) year from the effective date of the act must be filed for record in the county clerk's office in the county or counties where the land is situated on or before October 26, 1962.

Authority: 16 O.S. §§ 62 & 63. Comment: An adverse claimant may avoid the effects of the act by being in possession of the land, either personally or by tenant, or by filing the notice of claim required in Section 63, within ten (10) years of the recording of the conveyance, or entry (or recording) of the decree under which the claim of valid and marketable title is to be made, or within one (1) year of the effective date of the Act, whichever date occurs last. The filing of the notice of claim takes the interest or claim out from under the operation of the Act.
