Texas Royalty deed signed prior to death, never filed.
Question Details: My father died with a will leaving his portion of oil royalties to my mom and a signed, notarized transfer of title to her. The will was never probated or certified and the transfer not filed. It has been over 4 years. Can the transfer be filed now? There is no dispute regarding this only property, but the oil co is now requesting these forms. If not, what should my next step be?
If the transfer of title is in fact sufficient (correctly describes the property, signed, notarized, etc), then it can be recorded and provided to the oil company to resolve the issue.
