Is it true that every few years your interest on your mineral rights goes down? In other words, we were told it was one thing for parent then another for children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, great great grandchildren, and so on.

Not sure I understand your question. Obviously, as each generation passes its interest onto their heirs, the interest will get divided further. If you own 100 mineral acres, and you have two heirs, they will each inherit 50 acres (unless your will states otherwise), and if they each have two heirs, then they will inherit 25 acres each.
Am I missing the point of your question?

Thank you, that’s probably what he was saying to this person and she took it a whole different way. But that makes sense what you said. Thank you again.
