Supreme Court of Oklahoma

Amoorpour v. Kirkham

December 19, 2023543 P.3d 677

Summary

The Oklahoma Supreme Court affirmed the district court’s quiet‑title judgment in favor of the Amoorpour family trust, finding that Brenda Kirkham failed to prove the statutory elements of adverse possession. The Court also affirmed the denial of Amoorpour’s claim for monetary damages as speculative and without a pending claim, but reversed the denial of his writ of assistance, directing the lower court to issue the writ. The decision rests on the lack of continuous, exclusive, hostile, and open possession by Kirkham and on procedural requirements for damages and writ relief.
