Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Texas

death records

What information needs to be sent / filed in counties where my Dad owned oil and gas royalties. His will has been probated in the county of his residence, but the oil companies are saying we need to file ''documentation'' in the counties where the oil properties lie. What is that ''documentation.''

The executor needs to file a deed from Dad's estate conveying the interests to the heir. The attorney who probated the estate can prepare the deed. Typically I charge appx. $100 per deed to give you a ball-park figure on what the cost should be.
