If you have recently sold your mineral rights and did not know you had mineral rights before you deeded them away, there is a very good possibility that you have been defrauded of your minerals and did not receive fair value for those minerals. Pease contact us for a consultation if you have sold your minerals.
Our firm has discovered there are some companies and businesses in Oklahoma that are buying mineral rights for substantially less than fair market value. During their negotiations for these purchases the companies are very vague or silent regarding the value of the minerals they are purchasing. Oklahoma law requires a purchaser of mineral rights to disclose their knowledge of the mineral rights before the purchase takes place. The failure to disclose this information renders the transaction voidable.
