Spring, TX asked in Energy, Oil and Gas for Texas

Q: Is there a statute of limitation to sue a company in MS?

A company drilled on family property in MS without getting all the heirs permission. Only 4 out of 8 heirs approved. The company was aware there were more heirs involved but did not attempt to get their permission or compensate the other heirs. Is there a statute of limitation to sue the company?

Thanks

A: Undoubtedly there is a SOL. But the company may not need permission from all the "heirs", whatever you mean by that. It just needs permission from the record owner(s) of the property.
