Hi all, I am new to the Forum and have probably a typical question about mineral rights. Some mineral rights in Kings County were included in my mother’s will and passed to my brother and me. I need to find more information about these rights, but I don’t know how to go about it. Do I have to hire a local abstractor in order to just find out whether there are any relevant recorded documents on file with the County? How do owners usually evidence their ownership of mineral rights in negotiation with potential leasing partners or buyers? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
