Mineral Title Services

At the Law Office of Josh Krieg, we assist clients in navigating the complex legal issues surrounding mineral ownership and title in Colorado, Wyoming, and North Dakota.

Legal Services Offered

Title Examination and Ownership Verification

We conduct detailed title reviews to determine ownership of mineral and royalty interests, including tracing prior conveyances, probate proceedings, and trust distributions. Our title opinions and ownership reports provide a clear understanding of what is owned, by whom, and under what authority.

Title Curative and Legal Documentation

When title defects are discovered, we prepare the corrective legal instruments necessary to cure them, including personal representative deeds, stipulations of interest, affidavits of heirship, quiet title actions, and corrective conveyances.

Probate and Estate Related Transfers

Many mineral interests pass through estates or trusts. Our office handles ancillary probates and trust to beneficiary transfers to ensure the chain of title remains clear and properly recorded in the county and state where the minerals are located.

Mineral Conveyances and Transactions

We prepare and review deeds, assignments, and conveyances associated with the sale, gift, or transfer of mineral interests. For mineral buyers and investors, we provide legal due diligence to confirm ownership, encumbrances, and recording status before acquisition.

Operator and Payor Coordination

We assist in working with oil and gas operators, division order departments, and payors to update ownership records, resolve suspense issues, and ensure proper distribution of royalties after transfers or estate administration.
