My mother and aunt are heirs to mineral rights (23N 59E) in Richland County MT. and the rights are recorded in Richland Co. There are already Leases written for the 50% of the mineral acreage, my mother and aunt own the other 50%. Recent conversations have brought up a ‘‘Deed of Distribution’’ how important is this form to have before they sign a Lease? Also, the already written Leases are for approx. 5 yrs and 20%. Is this the ‘‘going rate’’ or considered a fair offer/amount for Richland Co.? TIA
