I have a set of properties for which I already know the owner name and a deed reference. What I need now is a clear, defensible answer to a single question: who presently owns the mineral rights?
Your task is to dive into the appropriate online databases (or courthouse images if they are hosted remotely), pull every instrument that affects the mineral estate, and walk the chain far enough to show the most recent conveyance into the current owner. Where the records allow, please keep going to outline any earlier transfers so I can see the lineage of ownership, but the priority is confirming the present holder.
For each tract, I will send you the owner name and the deed book/page or instrument number that got us there. You will return:
• A concise written opinion naming the current mineral rights owner, citing the recording data that supports it.
• A chronological list of the key documents in the chain, starting with the last transfer and working back as far as the records let you go.
• PDF or image copies of all referenced documents.
Accuracy and clear citation are essential; if something is inconclusive, flag it rather than guess. Let me know your turnaround time per tract and the resources you plan to use so I can be sure we have compatible access.
