THE MYSTERIOUS "WILL" tied to a lease agreement

Certain inviduals entered into a lease agreement with an oil company. After almost 17 years, they discovered a "will" that claims that they are our relatives. Yep, that's right, it took 17 years for them to discover this so-called "will." These people are not related to our family, (and we have concrete evidence to prove it)! However, now that a well has spudded, we are horrified to think that they might be entitled to collecting more money off of their "lease agreement".

What is our recourse?

Also, anyone have the contact number for Shell Oil or the major oil companies dealing with the Haynesville Shale?

Thanks.

Thats why we have a court system. To decide what is legitimate or not. Legal proceses take time. Keep in mind we only hear one side of th story here.

Until a decision is made in this case, can we petition the court ourselves to hold any future monies in an escrow account or do we need an attorney to do this?
