Even your post got too confusing to read!!! I would not have read that letter either~

Can you arrange to have your mail sent to Miss Perfect Joyce? That would let you off the hook from now on, and she can handle it all perfecly.

Yes. That is what needs to happen Judy. The interesting thing is that Ms. Joyce has just retired (Dec. 31) from a very demanding job and has had no time for years and years. Lol! Now she has time to take care of all of us!!

Gayle, have your lawyer find out the answers for you. These are things that need to be clarified before they ever start drilling on your property.

Oil and gas companies can be snakes......they'll tell you one thing but do another. I know that when oil and gas was big up here you had to be careful who you leased to because of the dishonesty that went on.

I wouldn't think that they could change the amount that they leased it for or the amount that they would owe you if they had a well on you.....but I would ask your lawyer about it.

I hope you get good news.......and that your cousin, well.......quits being a troublemaker!!!!

When you buy property you own everything that's under it......that's your "mineral rights" unless it's been sold or rented out. If so then it will affect the price of the property.......without mineral rights would be cheaper. You would definitely know if you didn't have mineral rights because it would be pointed out before your purchase.

Sorry, I didn't see your post explaining all of this before I posted. You did a nice job explaining.

Actually here most people own their mineral rights. It's just been lately that a lot of people leased their rights and it really fizzled for most. I'm not even sure if we have an oil and gas company left doing anything much. I imagine that things are a lot different in Oklahoma and Texas where there is lots of oil. I'm sure that mineral rights have been sold or leased for years which is why you're receiving checks.
