Question & Answer

Review the question and all answer choices

A

No redemption

Oklahoma does provide a right of redemption in non-abandonment circumstances β€” stating there is 'no redemption' is an oversimplification that ignores the circumstance-dependent nature of Oklahoma's foreclosure statutes, which preserve redemption rights for borrowers who have not abandoned their property.

B

None if abandoned, otherwise varies

Correct Answer
C

1 year

A flat one-year redemption period does not accurately describe Oklahoma law β€” while some states (such as Iowa for certain foreclosures) use a fixed one-year period, Oklahoma's redemption period is not uniformly one year but varies based on abandonment status and other circumstances established by Oklahoma statute.

D

6 months

A flat six-month redemption period similarly does not accurately reflect Oklahoma's circumstance-dependent framework β€” Oklahoma does not apply a uniform six-month period to all residential foreclosures, and the abandonment exception can eliminate the redemption period entirely.

Why is this correct?

Under Oklahoma law (12 O.S. Β§ 686 et seq.), the redemption period following a mortgage foreclosure sale varies based on circumstances, most notably whether the property has been abandoned. If the court finds that the property has been abandoned, there is no redemption period and the foreclosure sale purchaser takes immediate clear title. For non-abandoned properties, the redemption period varies based on factors including the type of mortgage and the specific circumstances of the foreclosure, making Oklahoma's system one of the more complex redemption frameworks in the country.
