County Trasurer's Resale Deed in Oklahoma

County Trasurer's Resale Deed in Oklahoma

Me & My Wife bought 1 property and two lots really cheap on 2008. We got a "County Treasurer's Resale Deed" for each property after the sale(in about 1 week). We are keeping the lots to develop later, but we are trying to flip the property. We have a big problem! the previous owner don't want to vacate the property.
We call the police (following the advise of the County Treasurer's Office), explain and show our Deed, the "owner" said he got one of those too. Following the advice of the police we file a "FORCIBLE ENTRY AND DETAINER" with a lawyer($400.00) we pay for the summons($90.00),and court clerk fees($252.00). We went to court. The judge denied the case fro "lack of small claims jurisdiction" and gave us 20 days to file as regular court. We did that. We went to regular court and he dismissed our case again. When we ask hin why, he said " Seek Legal Advice from an Attorney".
These are our Questions:
1. Do this judge had something against us?

2. How can we get the previous owner out of the property?

3. Other Steps to be able to put the title of the property in our names.

Even the lawyers tell us diferent ways to do it, but we are skeptical. If someone had this or similar problem, and how to solve it, please give us advice, we really will appriciate it.

    Go to the county tax attorney with a copy of what the "owner" supplied the police when he said "we got one of those too"

    What he actually has will tell the tale vs what the county gave you. Also take with you the reason given for dismissal. Just as the first said that small claims have no jurisiction the other court will say why it was dismissed.

    Using that information the county tax attorney may be willing to help you and or direct you to an attorney who knows how to do things so that you can accomplish what you wish to.

    This is the downside to buying at auction. You need to get a lawyer who's familiar with eviction law in your state. Pay him to file the proper papers in the proper court. Could be the judge does have something against you, but most likely you are just not following proper procedure.

    It might seem like you shouldn't have to do this. Indeed, you should not. But, it is part of the risk you take when you buy at auction.
