Mineral Ownership Investigation
Mineral ownership is often difficult to confirm because interests may pass through decades of deeds, probate proceedings, heirship events, reservations, assignments, leases, trusts, and family transfers.
The Harvill Firm assists clients in reviewing historic title records, identifying ownership gaps, analyzing competing claims, and determining what curative steps may be needed to confirm or clarify mineral ownership.
