My deceased mother owned oil royalties. How can I find the deed or other relevant information when the only information I have is the state the well is in? The bank where the royalties are being deposited will not give info about where the deposit originates.

If you give the state, forum members can tell you the best sources for finding the deeds.
Sounds as if you may have hit a privacy wall with the bank. Did your mother leave a will naming you as the executor? Has there been a probate opened for your mother? Ask the bank what you need to provide to them to get the ACH payment details?

Do her tax returns help you? I must list which company sent my royalties.
Good luck. Let us know what you try and what got you to the right info.
Happy Holidays.
Thank you, the well is in Illinois
Hi, thank you! No my mother passed unexpectedly, so she did not leave a will. She died in 2021 and my stepfather has not followed up with his attorney over the matter. So i thought id act on it. I need the information so i can find out who inherits the royalties. My mother inherited the deed from her father before she and my stepfather married. Based on my research, it seems like this topic can get sticky re inheritance rights.
Hi thank you! Thats a good idea, i hadnt thought of that
