Title Examination Standards
Chapter 1, App.
Chapter 6. Execution, Acknowledgment and Recording
§6.3. Revenue Stamps.

The absence of Internal Revenue or Oklahoma Documentary Stamps from an instrument or its record does not impair or affect the marketability of the title or necessitate inquiry.

Authority: R. & C. Patton, Titles § 365 (2d ed. 1957); P. Basye, Clearing Land Titles § 235 (1953). Similar Standards: Colo. 20; Conn. 23; Mo. 16; Mont. 20; N.M. 17; N. Y. 15; Utah 40; Wyo. 8. L. Simes & C. Taylor, Model Title Standards, Standard 6.4 at 45 (1960) followed as a model.

The current wording and authorities were recommended by the 1973 Report of the Real Property Committee, 44 O.B.A.J. 3319-20, 3431-32, 3535-36, & 3613-14 (1973). The proposal was adopted on November 30, 1973, by the House of Delegates, 45 O.B.A.J. 652. The standard for which this substitution was made read: "The absence of revenue stamps on a deed does not affect the marketability of the title." The standard in that form had been adopted as G., September 1946, 17 O.B.A.J. 1372 (1946); became 7 on numbering in 1946, id. at 1578 & 1751; became 23 on renumbering in 1948, 19 O.B.A.J. 223, 228 (1948).
