Could anyone recommend a reputable landman in Carter County? I have a small title issue on one of my properties that I need resolved before sale.

You probably need an attorney opposed to a landman. While a landman is an expert at running title and knowing leasing information, he or she cannot cure title defects. You may need a probate or quiet title depending upon your issue. If you know the title requirements, an attorney should be able to quote a flat rate in many instances.

I think I solved the issue. A probate filed in Oklahoma County was not transferred to Carter. That creates the gap. Thank you for all the help.

If the probate order listed the property, then it is a simple matter of obtaining a certified copy and filing in Grady Carter. Small expense in the grand scheme of things.

Expense should be minimal. Just having the folks in Oklahoma County pull a probate from the 1930s. They said they could research by noon tomorrow and hopefully pick up a certified copy. Once I have it I can have it filed in Carter County and correct the gap. Thanks to all for your advice. It is always much appreciated.

Personally, I would not sign it. They are trying to make a four section unit without drilling the test wells first. They could hold your section for decades without drilling in it. By diluting the acreage, they could drill one well and hold you without ever drilling the rest of the wells “they intend to drill”. Your decimal would be very small. I would prefer that they drill the two horizontal wells in 1&12 and 2 & 11 first and then unitize.
The pro side if it passes is that you will have royalties on all the wells in the four sections, so if they do go ahead, it is a good thing. Your choice.
