Affidavit of Adverse Possession

Hello,

Many years ago, my mother and uncle saught out to “squat” on some property (unknown to my most recent knowledge). Due to financial hardship they ask for me to help pay the taxes and exchange they would sign it over to me. In the midst they leased the property to an oil company.

Long story short, they have no deed in their name. I have filed an affidavit of Adverse Possession, but the oil company will not honor it without a deed.

Can someone explain why I need a deed from them when there is nothing tying them to this land other than a few years of paying taxes. I have paid the majority, and to be honest the oil company should have worked with me instead of them.

Welcome to the forum! What state are the lands located in?
