do you have a copy of the lease?

Not the one my brother signed, but I think my sister might.

You are going to need a copy of your father's (land owner's) will and a copy of the mineral contract to look into it.  We had a similar situation.  The land / lease info will be on the contract, then you can chase it through the RR commission in Texas.  Do you know the county this is registered / deeded in?

This is in Louisiana--DeSoto Parish. Other than my brother, the rest of us had no idea they had even starting drilling the land until my brother asked if Chesapeake had notified us. He signed---we didn't. We haven't heard word one about any of this---they all live in LA and TX and the company did get in touch with them to try to get them to sign a lease. Being in NY, I have never been contacted about anything.
