My father-in-law and his brother were handed down oil shares from the family farm that was located in Hardeman County, Texas. My husband’s uncle passed away in 2004, and his father just recently passed away in February of this year. He was at the time living with a woman, who is not being very forthcoming with any info to the siblings. He wanted to be buried in Oklahoma, she had him cremated, etc. Just a mess. How do we find out what the current status is of this deed, or if he signed it over to her? Any help or direction in the right path would be greatly appreciated. As this has been in the family for a while and we hate to see it in a stranger’s hand.
Just being curious, I went on to TexasFile.com, selected Hardeman County and typed in Ditmore (Grantor/Grantee). There were three entries with the Ditmore name. Here is one noting a Gift Mineral Deed. It’s just a long shot that any of these three documents may hold the information you need… maybe not! But, I think it may be worth your time/effort to access this website to view the documents. Hopefully, it will “ease” your wonderings.
Good luck,
Pat

Robert Carl was my father-in-law’s brother, so that is the right one. I will check it out. I know my father-in-law was receiving a royalty check.
I can’t access it right now, is one of them for a George Henry Ditmore?
Found it, thank you!
What does County Type: SPECIAL W/D mean? This was done in August and my father-in-law suffered from Alzheimer’s, so this is all very questionable.
