Q: what forms are need to transfer mineral royalties to another family member
I have a brother who has passed and need to have his percentage of mineral rights transfer to the rest of the family
A:
That is a tough answer. You are probably headed to probate. The good news is that if any of the following apply, you may be eligible for a summary probate that can be wrapped up on about 90 days:
-the total value of his assets in Oklahoma is $200,000 or less;or
-he died more than 5 years ago; or
-he was not an Oklahoma resident when he died; or
-a probate was completed in another state.
Really more information is needed. An affidavit of heir-ship might not be sufficient.
