An oil lease runs with the real estate. In all probability the trust holds the lease. An attorney should look over the trust document to make sure who has rightful title to the oil lease.

Re: Trust

If the trust owns the property and the property is the 1/8 oil lease it would seem that the trust owns the lease. If the trust states that the beneficiary is to receive the income from the lease the beneficiary has right to the income from the lease.

To properly advise you, an attorney would need to review the trust and the lease.
