Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Louisiana
My daughter inherited mineral rights in Oklahoma from her mother who passed away, but her mother had no will so I have no evidence that my daughter inherited them, other than the word of her grandfather.
There are royalties being sent to her old address from a producing oil well, and the oil production company advised that there was nothing that they could do unless I set up a trust for my daughter.
Is this my only recourse?

Open the mother's succession immediately. I do not know where she lived or died, but I bet dollars to donuts that the children of the woman inherit what she had when she died without a will. So if your daughter is the only child, it should be quite easy to prove she inherits whatever property her mother had when she died. Open a succession. Get an Attorney. Your daughter probably can recover all of the back royalties from the time her mom died. I do not know what this trust thing is.
