I’m starting from scratch here. My father’s will mentions mineral rights in Douglas County and the name of the ranch. That’s all I have to go on. Can someone advise me what to do next? Thank you.

@Mary_Kate_DiNisio, you might start by searching the Douglas County records for your father’s name or other family members who could have also been involved. It looks like the Douglas County records have an online search available.

If you find the location, you can check for any current activity on the Colorado Oil & Gas GIS map.
