The mineral rights to 2.5 acres in Logan County were left to my father-in-law who has since passed leaving them to my mother-in-law.
With the acres about to become part of a pool, it is my understanding that the deed must be transferred from the original owner to my mother-in-law and recorded within the county before she can receive any money.
Assuming I am on the right track, it appears I need to contact a lawyer in Logan County to handle this. If recommendations are allowed in this forum, please let me know of any and, if anyone has personal experience with this process, the amount it may take to make this happen.
