Changes of Ownership

Eiger Operating transfers ownership in accordance with state laws where the property is located. The two most common methods of transferring ownership for a deceased owner are:

  • Probating the deceased owner's estate in the state where the oil and gas properties are located, or
  • Recording an Affidavit of Heirship

An Affidavit of Heirship form is available in the Downloadable Resources section below. This form must be completed by a disinterested third party, someone who knew the deceased but will not benefit from the estate, and filed in the appropriate county of record.

To process a transfer, please review the applicable instructions and email PDF copies of the required documentation to ownerrelations@eigeroperating.com:

You may also mail documents via Certified Mail to:

Eiger Operating LLC

A negative balance typically means your account has been placed in netting due to an overdue balance or non-payment on your working interest(s). If your JIB invoice is negative, revenue netting exceeded your JIB charges for that month. You may still owe Eiger Operating if you have prior month outstanding invoices.

Unclaimed Property

Eiger Operating makes a good faith effort to return unclaimed property to rightful owners by issuing due diligence letters per each state's guidelines. If we cannot release funds due to lack of contact, we are required by law to remit those funds to the state of the owner's last known address. If you received a letter, return the form within the allotted period to avoid funds being reported to the state. You may also submit your response using the Contact form below.

Common types include funds owed to royalty and landowners, as well as uncashed check payments to vendors.

Each state has unclaimed property laws requiring the reporting of funds held for its residents. Once unclaimed property reaches the state's required dormancy period, funds are forwarded to the state of the owner's last known address to be held until claimed.

Contact the state(s) in which you now reside or have previously resided. For more information, visit the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators at unclaimed.org.

Reach out to the state where your property has been reported to claim your funds.
