Any success in getting royalties from the wrong person they were paid to? New owner (family members) not aware of payments or interest in well so expl co never notified. Can't blame the company for something they were not aware of. It's a small amount of money, but my retired family members could use it. Opinions?
In Texas if it is under $10,000 at issue, you could file in small claims court and not require the use of an attorney either.
You need to give more facts. Did the new owners buy the property?
You can ask them but, with the exception of hiring an attorney, that's about all. Family members are generally the worst. Now that the company has been officially notified, assuming they have, that has been corrected.
