Oklahoma Special Warranty Deed transferring Royalty Interest from an Individual to a Trust.
What is this form?
The Special Warranty Deed transferring Royalty Interest is a legal document that allows an individual (the Grantor) to transfer their royalty interest in minerals to a trust (the Grantee). This form specifically provides a limited warranty, where the Grantor only defends against claims made by individuals claiming through them, ensuring the trust receives clear rights to the royalty interest.
