Hello:
An attorney our family hired to create a trust filed inaccurate and/or incomplete legal descriptions of our mineral interest properties deeded into a trust. Unfortunately, we didn't catch these errors until after the inaccurate deeds were recorded in twenty counties in Oklahoma.
I am going to seek some form of restitution for the errors from the attorney himself, but I have no confidence in his ability to file corrections to the errors. I would like to file the corrections myself, or at least know the process for doing so if I decide to go to another attorney to make the corrections, so I don't get "underserved" again.
Does anyone know the procedure for correcting inaccurate legal descriptions of mineral interest deeded into a trust? I realize the usual advice is to find a lawyer, but given our recent bad luck with two attorneys, including one who came recommended as a veteran oil and gas attorney, I've lost a lot of confidence in the competence level of attorneys practicing today. I consider myself fairly knowledgeable about mineral interest owners rights, but I'd like to gather as much information as possible on my end to feel prepared for tackling the above-described issue.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide,
Angela
