Hi Roger,
Here is a link to another discussion where you asked something like this. Below is my reply.
If you search my name, or even yours, I have given you several suggestions for going forward. I don't know of anything I would say differently.
In last week's Ritchie Gazette (March 29 2017) there was a legal notice with your name in it stating that you have 30 days from the posting to reply to the suit.
Time to keep calling Antero, and/or get an attorney (I gave you the information somewhere) as to whom I would recommend. His office is right there by the courthouse.
As I understand it, the companies would prefer to get you to sign a lease rather than continue with the suit. You could ask for a new lease with the correct person listed as the source of your interest (your mother, you said). The terms in the lease can be negotiated, and a good attorney such as the one I recommended has had some experience working with Antero to get leases that are reasonable. Call him.
Good luck.

Roger Roberts, It might be that they made a mistake on your lease. I have seen some leases where it lists where the person got the interest from, and it is like a form to fill out. Maybe the landman preparing the lease for you kept the information about your uncle from another lease he / she was preparing for one of the children of you uncle on the form when he changed the name to your name. I think that could happen.
Call Antero in Denver Colorado at 303 357-7310 and see if you can get someone to talk with you.
