My dad is a grantee to this property. My grandmother is the grantor. My dad’s brother, also a grantee, has gotten my 93-year-old grandmother to do an Irrevocable trust, with him as trustee. My dad has had a company contact him regarding drilling on the property but not sure he has any legal rights until my grandmother passes. Has anyone dealt with this? We live in Tennessee and have heard the brother already has a rig on the property.
Roan Resources has an increased density order to drill five more wells on the property. It would be wise if you get familiar with the Oklahoma Corporation website. Look up the following cases on the OAP section to get some current and past history. OAP
201602782, 201809124, 201809123, 201809122, 201809121, 201705090, 201810115, 201803446, 201803445, 201803442, 201803460, 201803459, 201803458, 201804155, 201804154. Hope I typed all of those correctly. Anyway, make sure that your uncle and dad know about all of these. Make sure that either your grandmother or the trust name and address is properly on the newest ones. See if she was pooled on the 201705090 case or if she was already leased.
You can follow the wells on the Well Records site.
Test. Some of the wells have already spud. (Begun drilling).
Contact the attorney who put together the trust and ask them what the rights are and when conveyed.

Thank you so much for your guidance. Do you have an attorney you recommend that has dealt with this? My dad and I are planning a trip out to the property soon. Unfortunately my uncle has and is being very deceitful. He has authorized a lot and had my grandma sign an Irrevocable trust through his attorney and will not provide us a copy.
There are several attorneys listed in the directory on the site.
