We have routinely used all types of deeds (including quitclaim deeds) to pass minerals into a trust in Utah. There is no issue in the conveyance. However, as stated above, an operator can require the trustee to confirm he/she has the property authority under the trust. If this happens, you can either provide the operator with a copy of the trust agreement (which hopefully shows the trustee has the requisite authority) or record what’s called a Certificate of Trust in the county records - I assume that is the document given to you by your estate planner.
