Miscellaneous Questions:
Guardianships: When an owner is declared incompetent, please furnish Letters of Guardianship issued by the local court.
Bankruptcy: Our office will need copies of the court order appointing the Trustee, and if appropriate, the recorded Conveyances and the court order confirming any sales
Termination of Joint Tenancy: Furnish a copy of the death certificate and the current address/social security number of the new owner.
Life Tenant (Life Estate): When an owner of a life
estate interest dies, our office will need a copy of the death certificate
and the names, addresses and social security numbers (if available) of the
persons who own the Remainder and who succeed to the interest. In some
instances, we will need further information including a copy of the documents
which originally create the life tenancy and named the successors.
Power of Attorney – We can accept an unrecorded Power of Attorney for
changes of address; however, if you are selling a mineral interest as someone’s
attorney-in-fact, you will need to record the Power of Attorney in the county
and state where the mineral interest is located.
When an Owner Dies
Title to real property owned by the deceased party passes in one of two ways – either
by testate succession or by intestate succession. Testate succession
is with a probated Last Will and Testament. This Last Will and
Testament must be probated in the state where the mineral interest is located
to be recognized. Intestate succession is without a will. In the
absence of a Will, or if the Will has not been probated in the state where
the mineral interest is located, title to real property passes according to
the Laws of Descent and Distribution for the State in which the wells/minerals
are located, and not the state of residence.
Depending on the circumstance, the documentation we must be provided is:
Testate (Probated Will)
