My mother and I were looking for some advice/assistance on an area of land my family owns mineral rights on. My mother and 3 other groups of our extended family own the mineral rights to a 40 acre parcel of land in a county in Eastern Washington state. We recently received a letter from an energy company looking to have a Limited Waiver of Surface Rights signed by them so they can put in solar of some sort. The family no longer owns the actually land, it was sold at some point and was being used for pasture land. We were just wondering if there was anything we should know or do in regards to the request and if there are any rights we need to know about. They are offering a very small amount of money that based on what I can tell would be split 4 ways.
Thank you in advance for any info you can provide.
