This is an all too common question for those who inherit land with a title to known or suspected mineral deposits. The problem is further complicated by other factors: the intentions of the other heirs, the estate valuations, the required listing of value for the timely tax return filings.

Most of the time, these communities or individuals find themselves stunned and helpless upon receipt of a compliance order. In many cases, they will spend tens of thousands of dollars in litigation trying to fight imposed regulations.
