Oil, Gas and Mineral Deed - Individual or Two Individuals to an Individual
What this document covers
The Oil, Gas and Mineral Deed is a legal document used to transfer ownership of mineral rights, including oil, gas, and other minerals, from one or two individuals (referred to as Grantors) to another individual (referred to as Grantee). It provides a limited warranty, meaning that the Grantor guarantees that they have the right to sell the mineral interests, but it does not guarantee the absence of any issues with the title. This form differs from other property transfer documents by specifically addressing ownership of mineral interests rather than surface rights or entire properties.
