Royalties never paid on producing well

What happens when a oil company makes a mistake, and leaves your intrest out of a division order? Or assigns them to some one else. Are you untitled to all back payments. If so how hard is it to obtain these from company. I have already been In contact with them and by there own admission they say the person we sold 1/2 intrest to is there, but not us. We are were he obtained his half. I have sent a copy of deed so they can review and see we only let go of half. Just wondering what to expect.

You may have many rights in addition to back payments. This may include interest on unpaid amounts. Check with an attorney in the state where the property is located. Most attorneys can work statewide on this type of issue.
