Re: inherited land & mineral rights
Chances are that they are offering a pittance of the true worth. For example, I receive about $250 per month on one lease and was recently offered about $2,000. Let's see, $250 per month for a long time..... You do the math. You will probably need to file an affidavit of heirship to provide notice of your ownership. It will require research on the specifics of your family. There are Landmen out there who can research your title and advise you of your ownership. Or call an attorney.
