Tracking Down Proof of Ownership for Probate

If we have old leases in my Dad’s name that refer to properties - can I trust that there must be mineral rights in my Dad’s name for the properties as listed?

This is a good indication that these properties were either in your father’s name or that there was a good possibility that he was entitled to them as inheritance. Often leases are taken from individuals may not have title to the property.
