Transfer of Oil Royalty through an estate
I am the executor of an estate that had oil royalties in Wood County West Virginia. The prior tax bills for 2018 show API#516 S J WEST LEASE and another API # 1962 S J WEST WELL. . Elder Oil Company was the lessee. They do not answer my mail and I do not see these API listed for them. I did find ARIES PETROLEUM holding non producing lease on 47-107-01692, so I will write them. I have yet to find API #516.
I need to transfer theses interests to the heirs so I can close the estate but am having no luck.
How do I do this?
How can I search by API # ?
These wells were drilled by the decedent's grandfather William Ernst Lang. Is there a way to search leases for his name to find missing royalty interests?
Are the lease recorded some place where I can get a copy>
