Hello, I currently do not reside in OK. I received a letter regarding my potential royalties in a section in Stephens County, OK. When I called to inquire about how my info was obtained, I was told by the landman that my name was listed as a respondent to something that was filed. It is possible my father, who has passed on, may have owned land on the section listed. How can I find access to the deed? How can I find out if this is not a scam? The landman was supposed to call me back and didn’t.

You can look up your dad’s name for free on [www.okcountyrecords.com](http://www.okcountyrecords.com). I used the advanced search. Looking is free. Downloading is a small fee. Look for a lease or a deed or a probate.

You/anyone can go on [okcountyrecords.com](http://okcountyrecords.com) and search for your father’s (or grandparent’s) name. To look at the exact instrument, you would need a one-month subscription, I believe. The good news is that Stephens County goes back to statehood.

If searching just in Stephens County, the following would be more specific. [Stephens County | OKCountyRecords.com | County Clerk Public Land Records for Oklahoma](https://okcountyrecords.com/search/stephens#advanced-search)

It is also a good idea to search unclaimed property for ancestors, other relatives or yourself.

#### [Oklahoma Unclaimed Property Search](https://apps.ok.gov/unclaimed/)

#### **[Oklahoma Mineral Interest Escrow Account Search](https://ogims.public.occ.ok.gov/external/moea-search)**

[Nationwide Unclaimed Property Links](https://unclaimed.org/search/)

Be cautious of scams, there are too many to keep track of these days.
