A purchaser of real property shall have the opportunity to retain possession of the abstract for the property being purchased. The purchaser shall be notified about the option to retain possession at the scheduled closing; however, if a contractual obligation to a mortgage company requires retention of the abstract by that mortgage company, then the purchaser shall have an opportunity to take possession of the abstract upon complete performance of the contractual obligations. If a duly licensed abstract company is holding or storing any base or supplemental abstract or abstracts or a previously issued owner's policy of title insurance, upon written request from the owner or the authorized agent of the owner, pursuant to a current transaction, the licensed abstractor shall release the abstract or abstracts within three (3) business days of receipt of the written request or, in the case of a title insurance policy, shall release the owner's policy pursuant to subsection D of Section 5001 of Title 36 of the Oklahoma Statutes. All licensed abstractors and certificate of authority holders who refuse to do so shall be subject to the following:
