LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA

A request does not
transfer ownership.

Submitting an Ownership Change Request does not itself transfer legal ownership or guarantee an immediate change to JP Oil’s ownership or payment records. JP Oil may require additional documentation or verification.

Heirs, estates, guardians, and representatives who do not know the Owner/Payee Number can provide the former owner’s legal name, last known address, property details if known, and an explanation of their relationship.
An owner passed away — with a will

Documentation may include a death certificate, will, Judgment of Possession or equivalent probate documents, Letters Testamentary, and W-9s for applicable new payees.

An owner passed away — without a will

Documentation may include a death certificate, Death & Heirship Affidavit, and W-9s for applicable heirs or new payees.

Sale or assignment

A recorded deed, assignment, conveyance, or other ownership instrument may be required.

Transfer to a trust

A trust agreement, memorandum or certificate of trust, applicable recorded conveyance, and W-9 may be required.

Name change or divorce

Supporting documents may include a marriage certificate, divorce decree, court order, recorded conveyance, or updated W-9.

Corporate change or merger

Official name-change or merger documentation and an updated W-9 may be required.

POA, guardianship, or bankruptcy

Applicable powers, letters, court orders, trustee documentation, or court-approved conveyances may be required.
