My parents bought their house in 1989 and a well went in down the street in 2020 and it just sold to someone else. The new well owner sent them a check. Mom called the oil company and say they were not aware they had the mineral. They were told they would look into it and call them back in 24 hour. They didn’t call back so mom called and the original lady wasn’t there but left notes and they said she’s the top person on this and her note said it was good and she could cash the check. They also sent a fourm to have it auto deposited to her bank. The check they were giving has their name with “JTWROS” at the end. Does that mean the owner that first separated the land and mineral rights died with no heirs? I went to the county and pulled the book and page the well company gave me and it have my parents name on it. The house was a hud home before they bought it. The abstract first page shows surface right only.
