Hello - My siblings and I just got in the mail a request to sign off on a Paid Up Oil and Gas Lease which I know very little to nothing about.  We don't live in West VIrginia; this came thru our (deceased) grandmother's sisters, and I just want to know if it's a good thing to do to sign it, or not.  Was hoping to get someone with some familiarity as to what the going offers are.  Any information from this area would be helpful.  Thank you in advance!

In West Virginia, the counties collect property taxes on mineral rights as well as surface rights and fee (both). If the taxes are not paid within a certain amount of time the property (surface, oil and gas, etc) can be put up for auction by the local sheriff. If you have not been getting tax bills, you should check with the Tyler County assessor's office to find out what the situation is. Or the Sheriff's tax office.
Nancy, you have it correct, land (surface) and mineral rights are taxed separtely when mineral rights have been reserved (excluded) from the sale of land (surface rights). LuAnne, for your information, Petroedge is a ligit company.
