Dear Ms. Mobley,
Receivership leases are for the purpose of granting a lease by unknown persons. The District Court appoints an attorney ad litum to represent the unknown owners. The receiver is another person. I like to use the County Clerk.
if it were me, I would begin by demanding payment for my share of the proceeds, beginning with the operator, once I have my share proved up by Aff of Heirship filed or ancillary proceedings filed, or whatever. This is called building a case. If you need an attorney to guide you along, first determine the well and the production and figure out if the amount of potential money in dispute is going to pay the legal fees.
At any rate, have you contacted the operator? The royalties are paid to the appointed receiver. The oil company have no dog in this hunt, so your comment about the oil companies getting rich and the little people do not seem to matter is misplaced because you are bitter. They are (apparently) your minerals and at some point the family failed to properly manage them. That is not the oil companies fault.
Best,
Buddy Cotten
It sounds like they have made themselves clear that they want you to get an attorney. Legally, since there is a receivership already in place that covers your mineral interests, you've got to go to court, intervene and claim your interest. You need an attorney to do that.
In researching the decades-old Tuscaloosa Trend and the immense wealth it has generated for many, I find it deeply troubling that this resource-rich formation runs directly beneath one of the poorest communities in North Baton Rouge—near Southern University, Louisiana—yet neither the university ( that I am aware of) nor local residents appear to have received any compensation for the minerals extracted from their land.
This area has suffered immense environmental degradation…

AboutAs exciting as this is, we know that we have a responsibility to do this thing correctly. After all, we want the farm to remain a place where the family can gather for another 80 years and beyond. This site was born out of these desires. Before we started this site, googling "shale' brought up little information. Certainly nothing that was useful as we negotiated a lease. Read More |
