i bought this old farm has shut in well when we transfered deed all i got was a list of what oil company had in equipment on wellsite most of which is missing. it took nearly 10 yrs to finally get a royalty check because a secratary made a mistake and contacted me , found out they were sending royalty checks to previous owner ,had to sue to get that straightened out. but secratary files were lost when they were transfering them from paper to microfilm
Joseph, are you saying the lease was never recorded? If it's an old lease from before the memorandum of lease became common, a copy of the lease could be as close as your county recorders office.
goodmornin there were pages recorded but it wasn't anything pertinent, the amount of pipe in ground,pumpjack gauges but nothing telling how much gas i was entitled to whether the lease was pooled or not
Joseph, looks like a lawyer is necessary. If they claim no copy of the lease exists, and the lease was never recorded, maybe there is no lease.
