O&G Succession

Why would an O&G Co. ask a relative to call the Clerk Of Courts and close out a deceased relative'ss case and allow the O&G Co. to handle the title work themselves?  Why wouldn't the O&G Co. want the heirs to handle the JOP/Succession themselves?

TIA.

I am having some trouble understanding your exact question here.

An Oil & Gas Company can't, and shouldn't, handle Succession matters.  This falls on the responsibility of the decedents family.  Plenty of times successions are never opened....

An OG Company can, however, have certain documents executed and made of record that clarifies ownership (Curative). An example includes an Affidavit of Death and Heirship.

That's what this O&G Co. asked one of our relatives to do.

Thanks.

Tuscaloosa Trend Sits On Top Of Poorest Neighbourhood For Decades - Yet No Royalties Ever Paid To The Community -- Why??

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…
