How can I contact M Barnes with a question? Can she assist me in finding a probate attorney to get the minerals into my name? Thank you, Janet

If the minerals are producing (royalties being paid) your first step is to ask the operator for title requirements to put the minerals into pay status. This generally means a probate.
