life must be hard when you dont have any punctuation on your keyboard must be the economy making people cut back or is it like when western union would charge for telegrams and people would cut out whatever they could to keep the cost down
not as smart as u  sorry

Now that I have had my fun,

 

They will find each individuals interest in the acerage, based on LA heirship laws. If you want to keep the acreage together, you will need to file the appropriate paperwork with the clerk of court. If the interests are broken down due to a succession, whether intestate or not,  then you will have to bring the peices back together, probally with the help of an attourney.

 

They have every right to drop their offer, whether or not you choose to believe them or feel like you are better off signing or waiting, its up to you. They are just trying to motivate you to sign.

MR Baron thank you for your response. just don't want my family thrown under the bus.
arthur, there are portions of the lease more important than the bonus.  And a $7500/acre bonus offer is most generous for minerals in a 40 acre tract anywhere in the Play at this time.  The bonus is fine in my opinion just have an attorney review the language in the lease being offered.
ditto
these are answers i need thank you

arthur jenkins,

 

Nobody wants to be taken advantage of, especially when it comes to leasing their mineral rights.  Having said that, the experts on this site have a lot of knowledge, and they are very willing to share it with you, although they do like to "poke" fun sometimes.   ....  loved your response!

got to remain cool under fire plus i have a poker too.

Good luck with your lease, and I hope you get a really good well soon.

arthur,

you haven't told us (but I can guess)...  what a*****e of a company is behind JWPorter, using these sleazy tactics?

Henry I wouldn't call it sleazy tactics. This kind of thing happens all the time across the board with many companies. The bonus sounds like top dollar to me. I can't see the sleaze in giving a timeline in doing the deal. I can't get a grip on what Mr. Jenkins is trying to convey with the last portion of his post but it sounds as if he is not happy with the division of interest that Porter came up with. Porter can only go by the courthouse records in determining mineral ownership at this point. We don't know the whole story, only Mr. Jenkins side.
