We are 2nd generation heirs to minerals in Caddo County, Oklahoma. We have a copy of two deeds, but are wondering if there could be more. We live in Arizona. How do we find out what we own? Thank you for your help.
Do you know who you inherited from and where they lived/died? If they were in OK, then you can do some hunting on www.okcountyrecords.com for most of the counties. A few counties have their own online websites. If they were in TX, then www.TexasFile.com is an option. Both are free to look and minimal to pay to print. You can hunt for leases or their probates to see what you might catch.

To add to what Martha said, if you knew who was the original aggregator/oilman, you might be able to find their probate on oscn.net. The probate may list all the properties this decedent owned in Oklahoma.

These are solid resources. Consider searching under maiden names, married names, etc. I have found assets that were even incorrectly spelled, but the SSN and signature on the lease image proved proper ownership. So if there are names with common misspellings, it may be useful to search under those names as well…..
