Hi this is very frustrating. I find it really hard to believe that they don t have to check the recorded deeds . That should be a fine in itself . Has anyone encountered why no one contacts you saying we are producing on your interest in this county and state ? Then when you contact the operators they try denying it .That should be another fine . Why ?If it was recorded in the clerk of records 30 years ago .Then your royalty deed is legit . That is a excuse. It has took me half my life fighting and learning all about this oil and gas . I am on the pay deck of XTO . They do not have my percentage right . I need a lawyer that believes in the Jurist Doctrinal . The reason he was passionate about going to law school . Minerals and royalties are not easily purchased anymore . It is old money . We go to war on . If someone says my grandfather purchased these in 1939 from Welch and it has been recorded with the clerk of record . Believe them and represent them in obtaining what their grandparents worked for and purchased . That we are just throwing away . Our rights . To own . To create economy . Our privacy . AI is going to be impartial if you are not . Now I need a attorney . It might be a big case that you are not going to be lazy on . It is pretty thick . Yet I am sure you will be glad we won it in the end . For the principle, ethical , and financial positive outcome. Were can i find a genuine good ethical lawyer ?
Yeah this happens more than people think, especially with older deeds. Operators don’t always go digging through county records unless something triggers it, so sometimes valid interests get overlooked or not set up correctly on the pay deck.
If your deed was properly recorded, that’s definitely something worth looking into further before jumping straight to legal action. Sometimes it’s just a title issue or missing documentation on their side.
Do you know if your interest has ever been set up with the operator or if you’ve received revenue in the past?
