My husband inherited mineral rights in TX. He has 3 children from his previous marriage. If something happens to him who is getting his mineral rights? He did not make Wills for beneficiary.
With no will, the State will decide who gets the inherited mineral rights per the state's "intestate succession" laws. In Texas I believe these laws dictate that you would receive 1/3 of the mineral rights and his children or their descendant's would receive the remaining 2/3.

encourage him to make a will & clearly state his wishes, without a will you will have a drawn out mess to deal with.
