Wow, that was great advice. I recently discovered I owned 1/2 the mineral rights on some property my great, great, great grandparents owned in Karnes County, TX. Conoco Phillips is in the processing of sending me an oil and gas lease however after doing research I'm not sure if I should contact a lawyer or do myself. I didn't know my grandparents and in reviewing the advadavit link, I found I'm not able to answer any of those questions about them. Would you happen to know if that will hinder my ability to get the minerals recorded in my name?

The first action needs to be yours. Get the minerals recorded in your own name. It may afford you some protections. Having the minerals in your own name may make it much easier to get paid royalties in the event of successful drilling . Recording mineral deeds in your own name also may get you many more offers to lease, resulting in a possibly better lease offer. RWK
