What owners usually receive

Many owners think they already “leased it all” in 2008–2012 and then receive a deed offer for the minerals underneath. Read the granting clause. Post-production deductions and market-enhancement clauses are a frequent fight on existing leases; selling can look simpler than it is. A new lease on a held tract may not be what the landman implies.

Counties that show up often in the mail

• Washington, Greene, Fayette
• Susquehanna, Bradford, Lycoming
• Tioga, Wyoming

A county on this list does not mean your offer is high or low. It means buyers are already working the recorder’s index. Follow how to respond, check deed vs lease, and send the packet for a consult if you want help negotiating.
