Hello - Does anyone here know where I can find copies of Lease Agreements? I have an audit trail of the operators, the operator transfers, API’s and PLSS. When I asked the current operator, E & B Natural Resources, they sent me the wrong leases and did not seem very helpful. I’m hoping there is somewhere I can look this info up online.
Additionally, I spent five days at the Los Angeles County Register Office - Real Estate records and compiled a list of each Title Name, # of Doc, Date of Filing, Book, and Page Number on file for my Grandmother since 1944. I’m not sure if this info will be helpful in me locating the lease agreements, but if someone here knows the best route to take, I would greatly appreciate any advice you can give me.
They are supposed to be filed with the recorder of deeds in the county where the minerals are located. Some counties are more digitally up to date with scanning than others.
Thank you so much for this information. Is there a specific document they would be filed with? For example, I have a list of every Title Abbreviation associated with my grandmother’s name since 1944 along with the Grantor’s name, but it’s not clear to me which document the lease agreements are filed with. I’ve attached a screengrab for visibility.
