Delinquent mineral tax

Anyone have this happen? Tax went unpaid and sold to Ed Broome Inc. (EDCO). County collections then does research and finds a page full of potential heirs that could repurchase back the mineral interests for the back taxes (understood) and title exam ($4K) plus other misc. charges. Interesting that they could do the research now but now when tax went delinquent to find other heirs that might pay. Basically it’s property I didn’t know about.

Yes, same thing back in 2018. The tax ticket was in an ancestor’s name not my grandmother’s like the other tracts. So I didn’t know about it until EDCO’s blackmail letter.

This just happened to me. Same company EDCO paid delinquent property taxes. I had no idea I had rights to this. Interesting that we were never notified until after the fact. What did you end up doing. I’m not sure where to turn. Thanks
