That sounds like a good idea. I may end up doing that with this property & another. I also came up with another idea & I requested for the landman to insert the following two articles into the contract about an hour ago. What do you think about this:
1. Upon certification of title, Lessee is to deliver unto Lessor a copy of the certified title abstract.
2. Upon certification of title, if it is discovered that Lessor owns an interest greater than 50% of 50 acres, whether in interest, in acreage or in both, Lessee will within 90 days pay unto Lessor the unpaid signing bonus amount based on this contract's agreed upon Leasing Fee of $2,500.00 per net acre.
He said he'll forward it to the company & see what they say.
