Curative Landman - Oklahoma City, OK (Remote)

Purple Land Management • Oklahoma City, OK

7d • Remote

About The Position

Purple Land Management is seeking to add curative landmen to an active title curative project covering multiple drilling and spacing units in western Oklahoma (Roger Mills and Ellis Counties, OK). In this role, you will be responsible for receiving assigned requirements from division order title opinions and managing them to closure. This involves understanding each requirement, locating the necessary parties, contacting them directly, drafting the required instruments, and ensuring their execution and recording. The position requires independent work, sound judgment, and the ability to recognize when to escalate issues to a supervising landman.

Requirements

• Prior experience handling title curative work.
• Ability to read a division order title opinion, understand what each requirement is asking for, and recognize where the defect sits in the chain of title.
• Working knowledge of common title defects and how they're cured in practice, including probates, affidavits, powers of attorney, and corrective instruments.
• Comfort communicating with mineral and royalty owners outside the industry by telephone and in writing.
• Careful drafting from confirmed facts only; every recital in a curative instrument must trace to a recorded document, the title opinion, or information the owner has verified.
• Discipline to stop and ask rather than fill a gap with an assumption.
• Independent judgment.
• Ability to prioritize and track a list of open requirements sitting at different stages.
• Proficiency in Google Workspace.

Nice To Haves

• Many of the owners you'll contact are elderly, recently bereaved, cautious about unsolicited calls, or unaware they own an interest at all.

Responsibilities

• Review assigned requirements from division order title opinions, determine what each one requires, and identify the resolution path.
• Locate mineral owners, royalty owners, heirs, devisees, and successor entities named in each requirement using county records, probate and district court filings, obituaries, and public search resources.
• Contact owners by telephone, mail, and email, explain the requirement and the instrument in plain language (without giving legal advice), and manage execution logistics including notary coordination and return mailings.
• Draft curative instruments, including stipulations of interest, stipulations of interest and cross-conveyance, disclaimers, affidavits of heirship, corrective assignments, quitclaim deeds, and ratifications, ensuring accurate legal descriptions, decimal interests, exhibits, and signature blocks matched to the capacity in which each party signs.
• File and record executed instruments with the county clerk and track each one through recording.
• Maintain organized records of every contact, response, and mailing in the curative contact log.
• Communicate status, obstacles, and items that need escalation to the supervising landman.
