You need a new attorney. It’s the only gripe I have about this board: everyone suggests hiring an attorney first before doing anything, but when they do, they often come back on here asking about what their attorney did and asking questions. A mineral purchase should take no more than 45 business days to close. The fact your attorney signed off on whatever contract you signed and then took 3% owed after that much time is quite baffling and would be enough for me to hire a new attorney Monday or 130 days ago! But the big question is, how many acres are you selling/expected profit from the sale? If it’s a tiny mineral interest, then obviously don’t want to spend more money on it; if you are expecting 6+ figures, then you need to act fast.
