Ok, my mother died in 2004 and my grandfather left us mineral rights in Doddridge County, West Virginia. We signed leases in 2015. Well there are four heirs. They found oil and the proper papers were filed. Now the oil company is saying my stepfather is getting money. He never signed any papers. The oil company is saying now we have to file another affidavit with his name on it at the clerk’s office. Is that even legal? And why should we? Can you give me some advice please. Overwhelmed in California.
