A licensed broker in Oklahoma is explaining the state's foreclosure process to a buyer's client who is considering purchasing a distressed property. Which of the following statements about Oklahoma foreclosure law is NOT accurate?

Correct Answer

D) Oklahoma requires foreclosure to be conducted through a judicial process filed in district court.

Oklahoma foreclosures generally proceed judicially, but Oklahoma's Power of Sale Mortgage Foreclosure Act (Title 46 O.S. §§ 40-49) allows a non-judicial power-of-sale foreclosure when the mortgage instrument contains a valid power-of-sale clause and statutory notice procedures are followed. The statement that foreclosure 'requires' judicial process is therefore NOT accurate.

Answer Options
A
A lender in Oklahoma may pursue a deficiency judgment against the borrower after a foreclosure sale.
B
Oklahoma lenders may use a non-judicial power-of-sale process to foreclose on a mortgage when the mortgage document includes a power-of-sale clause.
C
Oklahoma is a lien-theory state, meaning the borrower retains title to the property while the mortgage serves as a lien on the property.
D
Oklahoma requires foreclosure to be conducted through a judicial process filed in district court.
