I have a question. When a drilling co goes in and gets permission from the courts to drill and agrees to open a Rec Account, does the State appoint a attorney over these monies for the lost heirs. How does he actually get paid. One of our heirs went and visited the Attorney over our  Rec account. He answered her by saying he gets pd out of the Rec monies that belong to all the heirs. He will not return any of our phone calls at all. Is there areason for this. they have talked to the TRRC who does not handle this, Divi Orders, who say they dont handle this. Advises get a attorney and it will be costly. We were told he Dropped 2 of our main heirs. How can that be done? We are really confused and afraid to call and make him drop us. Is this normal procedure. I realize the oil and gas companys are rich and getting rich everyday and the little people do not seem to matter. Why does someone have to fight for what is legally theirs, if they can prove and produce a Aff. of Heirship. This does not seem right or fair or ethical.

I believe it goes to a county fund for use by the county.  Don't know off the top of my head on the time interval.
Well here we go again. I am really confused now. You are both right . I guess. The landowner was the first one to tell me the money goes to the county. And if we did not go to court they would get the money. But if that is so why is the landman trying to get Aff of Heirship and clear title. If there is a time limit I would like to know. Just like for several yrs it was not important I guess to find us. But now it is. The landmen have said we would get our money after this was proved. But I do not know if we are quite sure what is really going on anymore.This all started over a little 12 acres that has a new horiz well and pooled. It is all beyond me and I just cannot put it togethter. They first said land, then we own all the min rights and not the surface. But why now. Clear title for what.... Other than dispursing monies???????
Sherry-- every one has tried to help you including the landman--recomment you take Ben's  advise -- GO SEE ATTORNEY
Thanks for all the good advise. You and Ben were soooooooo right. Attorney was definitely needed. We just did not know why.. Thanks again. People not familiar with all the details of things like this tend to get so confused. We did. But again now that so much has happened and I go back and read advise, it all comes together. Thanks again
