Yesterday, 8/5/19, I received my first notice of a decision in probate court giving my father’s mineral rights to my mother’s Revocable Trust. The decision occurred one year ago on 8/21/18.
According to the “decedent of heirs,” first was my stepfather who passed away in 2011, then myself and lastly the Trustee of my mother’s estate. The final decision gave all rights to the Trustee. I did not receive any notice of the Probate Proceedings - should I have?
Chesapeake Energy is sending me the notices of permits as next of kin. Do I have any rights?
Can someone please give me advice as to what I can do in this situation?

A Wyoming attorney can advise you. You might be able to reopen the probate for lack of notice. You don’t want to discuss litigation on a forum like this.

Thank you for replying and for giving me the advice to not put something like what I said on the forum. I am naive in a lot of things. Please explain what the reason is that you do not discuss litigation on the forum. I just want to know the reason so that I do not make another mistake.
I did speak to the Court in Douglas and found out that notice is not required. My mother’s trust supplied a probate decision from Oklahoma that they used for their decision. They did give me a list of attorneys and I did call one and left a message. I also contacted the Attorney General’s Office that is also supposed to give me an attorney’s name.
Again, thank you for your reply. I am sorry for any mistake I may have made.
