Not trusting one person only... so we've called the courthouse, we've called the mineral rights lawyer, and we've talked to a lawyer up here where we are now. What makes our situation so ridiculous is not only did we not own the land, we sold the damned mineral rights nearly 10 years ago!

Which just tells me there's some "ghost" who's making out like a billionaire bandit on phony documents. But, I'm very cynical.
