Dan Reynolds posted an interesting question about weekend deadlines in Oklahoma real estate contracts on Facebook the other day, and we just had to sit down to discuss it. One of Oklahoma’s real estate contract forms was changed so that if a particular deadline falls on a weekend, it would automatically move forward to the next business day. The justification for this change cites an obscure Oklahoma law on holidays. How do weekends and holidays impact contract deadlines in Oklahoma real estate contracts? Is every deadline that might fall on a weekend in question now? Watch this video to see our discussion of this obscure law and how it might change how you handle weekend deadlines in Oklahoma real estate contracts.
