I gave my children a portion of my interest in a recorded deed but it doesn’t seem that they are getting same money per share . Did I do something wrong?
You have to provide additional information for an answer. Compare your division orders to make sure they indicate your intentions, then review your deed for clear language. Non-professionals many times create deeds that do not reflect their intentions.
The mineral owner is responsible for contacting the operator if there is a change in title. Did you or your children contact the Division order department of the operator and inform them of the new deeds. If not, then do so and supply copies of the deeds. The companies do not generally check the county deeds for updates once they finish the Division order.

If you did a DIY deed, there is likely a problem. You need to have an experienced attorney review the deed if it was DIY, together with your mineral interest prior to the purported transfer.
