THE RECORDED INTEREST
Mineral rights, royalty interests, overriding royalties, working interests, and severed estates do not carry the same rights, burdens, payment position, or closing documents. The recorded interest controls the review.
Deeds, reservations, leases, assignments, units, and division orders establish the interest before any sale number is compared.
Net acres, ownership fractions, lease royalty, unit participation, products, and adjustments should agree with the statements.
Counties, legal descriptions, depths, products, effective dates, receivables, reservations, and burdens stay attached to the offer.
THE OWNER'S SIDE OF THE TABLE
The first review can begin with a county, an owner name, and whatever records are already available. No complete title file is required to ask a useful question, and no sale decision is required to understand the property.
