Just joined the forum after finding out that we (my siblings and cousins) own some mineral rights in Wetzel County. Someone from Independent Land Man contacted them and wants us to sign and pay $250 to activate a lease. My cousins know nothing about this mineral rights stuff, but I’m no expert either. I dealt some 6 years ago in my county in Ohio with BP and know enough that there are bonus offers and royalties negotiations that have to happen.
However, we don’t even know where the land is and the steps to take to discover all this. I never got the letter and am waiting for my copy so I can start researching this. Can someone please add some guidance. Thanks!
