Anyone here a Landman, or know anything about mineral rights?

[Grimpala]

Family had some land out in Glasscock Co. back in the early 1900's. We've found some paperwork and wills and deeds and we're trying to ascertain if we still own the mineral rights.

My grandmother thinks we still do, her grandfather owned it originally then it was passed to her father and his three siblings. There were/are few heirs, but I can't make heads or tails of all the writs and whereas and all the other jargon that was written 80+ years ago. Hell from what I can figure out, we may still own the physical land as well.

Have you seen the property? There is SOME drilling there and older wells. Is there any wells there that you know of?

[Grimpala]

There have been some dry holes in the very distant pass. This effort it more-so to shore up lineage before my grandmother passes so we have her wealth of knowledge to sort this out.

Not too concerned with selling or trying to make money at this time, just gathering information.

Gotcha. I wouldn't personally contact a landman unless you're desperate, because that can get pricey. You might just contact the county clerk and have them do a title search if you have somewhat information. In essence that's all they do, you just pay for their time to do it.

If it has oil wells:

Mineral rights have to be at least partially owned (at some point) by someone who was assigned the wells..

county records . use the land description to pull up all deed restriction and such .

She can sign her portion the mineral rights over to you (better option) but at least have it call out in the Will and other documents you will want to get done before hand.

I'm sure that's lined out in hers and/or dad's trusts.

I'll look into this a little more.

thanks for the links, I'll look into them.

I need to figure out what all the papers I have are, and what the jargon means. This shit gets confusing very quickly.

[bubbaearl]

description of thr survey and the number on the road helps . around here there is a tag hanging on the fences on the road .

You’ll have to dig through old records and determine if the surface and mineral estates were severed. I have a friend that is a former landman and practices law now, he could possibly help out.

[bubbaearl]

everything about property is recorded on the deed of record . took me 5 min to locate mine at the court of records to get some copies .
