Reading emails (no names are added) transpired from a landman and owner of a mineral conveyance.
OWNER: Did you get my brother to sell? Because we both want to or no one. And please remember I can’t sell all; I am willing to sell a small area but I do not wish to sell all of my ownership away, just that one area, nothing more? Where the “123 well unit” is located. My brother and I still will own the WI/NRI. Should I call the court clerk? I did. I do not wish to sell and will contact the clerk to correct it. I’m so confused. Did I or not?
LANDMAN: I already told you that we DID NOT buy your working interest, just the ORR/RI. If you read the mineral conveyance you signed, it reads ORRI and RI in the entire section you own. I’m sorry but it’s too late to change anything, it’s been recorded and 7 days have passed.
OWNER: No it hasn’t.
LANDMAN: Date was last month, Mr. xxx, to ensure this month payment gets to our office. I already sent it in to court clerk’s office and it’s recorded.
OWNER: You told me to sign it back date it ONLY because you offered 200 more now, that way you will receive last month revenue in sale. So do I still own?
LANDMAN: Please review the document you signed.
YOUR THOUGHTS?
Update: Owner does not own anything, sold all in the mineral conveyance. Verified with Court Clerk. Legal descriptions had all that was owned. Specific unit mentioned was indeed in bold font in front of legal info, it even states “123 unit well GAS ONLY.”
ANY SUGGESTIONS OF WHAT CAN BE DONE?
