By dispute, do you mean that someone else claimed the same mineral ownership that you claim? Or that there was a dispute as to the percentages of minerals owned among certain people or family members? In that case, you should have had legal counsel and you would have to be involved in any legal settlement aas to title ownership. Or did you sign a lease with Company X which was not the operator and your lessee did not participate in the well? If that is the case, then your lease may have expired before payout. You should consult with an oil and gas attorney as to your legal position and to make sure that you only sign a good document. If you do not have an attorney, there are some listed on this website.
