Hello, my family has mineral rights in Okfuskee County, around Paden, we believe. We have lost the legals e.g., Township, Section, etc. How do we find out the legal description and percentage of mineral rights that was passed down to us? I’m 70 and all the relatives that knew are, of course, passed on.
Thanks in advance.
The original deeds are filed at the Osfuskee County courthouse. Any probates should have been filed there as well. You can also try the website: www.okcountyrecords.com and search there. The digital records only go back until about the early 90’s. You can hire a landman for a day to go look things up at the courthouse unless you live close by and can do it yourself.
