Declaration of Dissolution of Unit
What is this form?
The Declaration of Dissolution of Unit is a legal document used to formally notify that a designated unit, typically formed for oil and gas leasing purposes, is being dissolved. This declaration indicates that the purpose for which the unit was created no longer exists and serves as official notice that the designation of the unit is no longer effective.
