Documents needed to inherit shares of land

I inherited shares in land originally owned by my great grandfather and others through my mom’s father. He and his second wife left half to her son and half to his 3 children. Her will couldn’t be found at the time of her death so her son quit claimed his shares of this land to my mom. Her brothers had deceased by then. Do I have to share those shares with my uncle’s children? They say there is nothing mentioned in their father’s wills. My mom had the shares listed in her trust.

This is really difficult to provide an answer to on a forum. There appear to be lots of moving parts. You will need an attorney in the state where the minerals are located to review the information and advise you on the correct course.
