Was contacted by Antero informing me that me and my two sisters and four cousins own miners rights in Doddridge County. They were my Grandmother’s since 1926 and we didn’t know anything about this. It’s in Grant District near Big Flint, gross 12 Acres. They sent us paperwork to sign a lease and wanted it mailed right back to them. We got the paperwork on Tuesday, July 19 and want it back by July 25 and said they would pay us each a bonus of $500.00. I don’t know anything about this kind of stuff but think something doesn’t seem right, them rushing us like that. Any advice on what to do would be so helpful please. Thank You.
Tonya,
I sent you a friend request to talk directly. I wouldn’t rush in to signing anything. If you and your cousins all own a part of your grandmother’s minerals without knowing about it (which honestly happens all the time), you will still own them after the company’s timeline! You certainly run the risk of them pulling out of the area, but you are usually better off to make an informed decision. I’ll be happy to help you guys out.
Do you really think they are going to pull out for 5-10 acres?
I think that since they just contacted these people that they might give it a month or two.
Antero is active in Doddridge. Ask the Landman for a copy of the title opinion pertaining to your mineral parcel. I sent you a friend request.
