Title Chain Investigation
Full Ownership Verification
We trace every deed, lease, assignment, and change of ownership back to the original grant to confirm you have clear mineral rights. Our process includes Historical Deed Research, Assignment Tracking, and Heirship & Chain Break Analysis.
Lien & Encumbrance Search
Our team searches for recorded mortgages, judgments, tax liens, and back‐in rights that could restrict or strip mineral ownership, including Judicial Liens, Tax Liens, and Royalty Obligations.
Due Diligence for Acquisitions
Comprehensive Risk Assessment
We identify and analyze potential risks related to title defects, regulatory compliance, environmental liabilities, and operational constraints that could impact asset value and future development.
Financial & Operational Analysis
Our team verifies production history, lease operating statements, and revenue streams. We assess existing agreements, contracts, and permits to provide a complete financial and operational overview.
Transactional Support
We assist in preparing and reviewing curative documents, drafting acquisition reports, and ensuring all land-related data is organized and ready for a seamless transition post-closing.
