Upon inheritance of mineral rights or royalty rights, can the division orders be requested from the operating company? We do not have a current copy for some of the properties. On some of the WI interests, there seems not to be any income, that we can tell. Would there be a reason for no activity when the wells have been in production? Also, do the interests transfer to the heirs without changing terms?

I appreciate any info you can provide.

> Nothing in this life is forever. Let's take a scenario. Mom and Dad owned some minerals and they have been receiving royalty checks for years. Mom and Dad went on to their reward and the checks still come to their old address in their name. How do you get them in your name? First, title must reside somewhere. When a death occurs, the land(s) belong to the Estate of the deceased. In other jurisdictions, it may be called something else (like Succession in Louisiana), but the theory is the same…

Best,

If a lease is held by production, then the terms of your ancestor’s lease (or pooling order) would apply.
