Q: Real Estate transaction buyer wants assurances from seller on mineral conveyance that the seller will consult with buyer

should they lease and then drill on the land he is buying. A simple agreement document will do. Understandably if the buyer is building on the acreage he doesn't want his right to a peaceful lifestyle disturbed nor his investment building a new home.

You will need have an attorney draft a deed that prohibits or limits surface access by the mineral owner. If it's not in the deed from the seller to you it does not count (i.e., a simple side agreement won't work).

Q: Can a gas station sell a carton of cigarettes as 10 individual packs to make more money off of them?

When someone comes in to buy a carton we are made to ring up 10 individual packs so the customer pays more and doesn’t get a deal, wouldn’t this be considered price gouging since they are supposed to be sold a whole and not 10 individual packs.

An Indiana attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for five weeks. Energy and oil (a selected category for your post) attorneys don't usually get involved in these situations. A consumer rights attorney might have insight on this. Good luck

If the will is not probated it has no effect, including sister not being an executor. If no will then you might be an heir, so a recorded Affidavit of Heirship might help (both as a source of title and to get the power in your name). Hire an attorney to determine heirship and draft an... View More

Hire a competent WV attorney. Move for a default judgment for the relief you want. With real property it should be very precise. If the title is involved, a certified copy of the judgment should be recorded with land records.

From your post, it looks like you've already reached out to the electric utility and the Public Service Commission. Given the fire hazard you describe, you could also try reaching out to local fire & safety departments and elected officials for guidance. Good luck

Without reviewing the initial agreement specifically whether there is included the procedure for cancelling, it would appear that the information you provided would support that you proceeded promptly and diligently in cancelling the contract.

I’d search it back further than 1961, but if there’s no easement, they have no right to enter or use your property.

Draw the blinds? You have no options against the installer. It's remotely possible you have a claim against the homeowner. You'd have to retain an attorney to research the law to determine if you have a case.

It depends on the language of the deed. In Texas, in most cases if the minerals are not withheld via a reservation in the deed, then they go to the grantee/buyer.
