My relative died a couple of years ago. We have an estate attorney that is supposed to be transferring all mineral interests to the heirs per her trust. I got a division order still addressed to her. Called the producer and he says send an email. That’s not a problem. My question is does anyone know about who is producing and whether it’s a good idea to sign the division order for boosted when they’ve only drilled 2 wells. but seem to have good production-ish for gas and barely any for oil. I know I’m a newby but any help would be appreciated.
Whether or not you have to sign a division order depends upon the state. You probably cannot sign a DO without the proper POA or testamentary authority anyway. Talk to the estate attorney. TX requires a DO in order to get paid. Various other states do not, but the operator needs a W-9 no matter what state so that the proper owner name, address and tax ID are sent.
The forum can help with the activity, but you need to tell the state, county, section, township, range (or block, abstract name and number plus section for TX), name of wells, etc.
If you are new, the Mineral Help tab above is helpful. Depending upon the state, the forum can help you get up to speed on your area. Mineral owners need to be informed and know what they are responsible for doing to manage their minerals.
