Do I need to transfer to my name or us a copy of the land deed showing the retained mineral rights ok
I am only licensed in Texas, but I suspect Oklahoma law may be similar to Texas law in this situation. If the executor of an estate has not included the mineral rights in a deed from the estate to the beneficiaries, and this violates the terms of the will, you need to seek legal assistance...

I also have another Westinghouse equipment a single phase testing transformer patent 1275946 1317280, etc... Do I have to type those numbers to find its information?
Your questions might have a better chance of being picked up by a patent attorney in the Patents (Intellectual Property) category. You could try reposting there. Good luck

It depends what you're battling them about. Oil spill from one of their fuel barges, you need an environmental lawyer. Right-of-way or easement with one of their power lines, you need a land use or real estate lawyer. Electric bill issue, you need a consumer or business lawyer. Depending on the... Read more »
Two years ago we, as royalty owners with Pioneer Natural Resources, sold a percent of our mineral interest in Upton County to OneMap Mineral Services LLC. All Division Orders were signed by all parties and money exchanged hands. But apparently Pioneer dropped the ball and mishandled some of the... Read more »
This is certainly an unfortunate situation. Whether or not Pioneer is allowed to withhold all royalty due to you depends on the language of the most recent division order for these royalties that you signed, as well as the terms of the oil and gas lease that you or your predecessor in interest...

You can sue anyone for anything as long as you can get them served.
You're case will be summarily dismissed, probably for not stating a claim upon which relief may be granted.
You may be cited for filing a frivolous suit.
I need to know the best way to save my producing wells which is my only income from getting shut down by Oklahoma Corporation Commission because they are making me clean up a huge salt water mess. I have proof my leak could not have caused the amount of contamination that has been found. My leak... Read more »
You will have to file suit against them and present the proof in court
Are his children responsible for paying the light, water, and gas bill? We plan to sell the home once cleaned, but no one is living in the home since his passing.
After the Court appoints an administrator, giving that person authority over your father's property, that person is responsible for maintaining the estate.
Meanwhile, you and your siblings may want to keep the utilities on in order to maintain the property in good shape. That should bring... Read more »
I saw a guy smoking as he walked behind a pump within 5-10 feet of the pump. Is that illegal?
An Alabama attorney would probably know this best, but your question remains open for a week. In general, some jurisdictions treat it as a misdemeanor. Some treat it as a violation of fire or public safety codes, or combinations of the two. For reasons even children recognize, it's not a good thing... Read more »
My question is if they buy out my property to set up a drill pad, should I try to negotiate for not only the replacement cost of the buildings, but the lost income of the property? The lots are only 100' wide, so any drilling will affect multiple plots. There are 5 rentals beside my home plus... Read more »
Yes you need to negotiate to get everything you will lose. I negotiate these purchases all the time.
You could go to the Find-a-Lawyer tab above and choose Energy, Oil & Gas, and then select West Virginia. That should present you with attorneys listed in this site. You could also conduct your own independent searches. You could also contact the West Virginia State Bar to see if they could assist... Read more »
For something of that scope and depth, you'd be best off contacting attorneys on your own. You could use the Find-a-Lawyer tab above, or conduct your own independent searches. An attorney would probably want to thoroughly review the lease and discuss it with you, while the format here is... Read more »
Even if he leaves i will have to prove he lives somewhere else which will leave me powerless for an extended time. Can i just be denied service on a hunch like this?
That seems like a very high level of scrutiny if the account is in your name, you are not married, or don't have joint ties that could come up in any type of reports. In large cities where electric utilities serve millions of ratepayers, they don't generally track each and every member of the... Read more »

In most cases, an oil company in bankruptcy must pay current royalties to its mineral owners with whom it has active oil and gas leases. Past royalties are often treated as claims against the bankruptcy estate. Whether the claim is secured or unsecured, or priority or nonpriority, depends on the... Read more »
My husband knew something wasn't right with the install, we had them come over several times as our humidity was was out of control.

If there is a warranty, make a claim. You can also do a small claims case for the damages.
You should have a lawyer review such a document with you.
Or can I be charge with domestic violence and have to do some classes
Without knowing the facts of your case in detail it's difficult to provide you with an answer. You could consult with an attorney who can review the facts of your case and present you with the options. -Homer P. Jordan IV, Esq. 404-620-1558 HomerJordan.com
A Michigan attorney would know best because local laws can vary by jurisdiction. But your question remains open for three weeks. In some jurisdictions, it's considered a misdemeanor. In other's, it's treated as a fire and safety violation, with the onus on the operator of the facility. In between,... Read more »
I'm the Asst. Treasurer of the Brookfield Volunteer Fire Company, Inc., a 501(c)(3) certified organization. We noticed tax on an invoice for propane from Norbert E. Mitchell (our supplier.) They said, "you are not exempt from the CT - LP- Gross Receipts Tax". Is this true, and if so, are there... Read more »
You are confusing your federal tax-filing status with state sales taxes imposed on most if not all corporations. Just because the FEDERAL IRS has given you tax-free status does not make you exempt for state sales taxes. If it did there would be zillions of 501s out there.
Is it legal to deny me electricity for a stranger's debt?
The amount of money involved is way too small to be of interest to most lawyers. FYI, the law is not designed to solve every little problem that comes your way during this lifetime; the Latin phrase for this rule is "De minimus non curat lex."
Pay the balance and then sue the deadbeat who... Read more »

While your written lease terms will control this unusual situation==generally speaking--landlords are responsible to make sure that their leased property is suitable for living; and tenants do not have to remain in structures that are not in livable condition.
