Yes, I have a man from a mineral purchasing company that is saying I have 0.3125 net mineral acres in Section 8, Block 56, Reeves County. This was my grandfather’s; he has been deceased for over 20 years. How would I go about getting them put in my name? Thank you; any help will be appreciated.

You need to speak with an attorney to have an Affidavit of Heirship drawn up and filed. It should be a simple process. Once that is filed with the County, let the mineral purchasing company know and keep educating yourself on mineral rights (not always too easy as it can be quite complex). Good luck!

Contact the energy company and see their process. You most likely will have to probate his will in the County in which the wells are in.

First you need to put in an Affidavit of Heirship. Then contact a local lawyer not in Reeves County; there aren’t many. Try Pecos; this is where I have my lawyer from.

Visit with a Texas attorney to avoid costly mistakes and goose chases.
