We would rather tell you that plainly than let a mailer convince you otherwise. People still inherit Ottawa County minerals, and the honest answer about them is short. **What produces here.** Nothing of record. The Kansas Geological Survey county production page states that Ottawa County has had no oil or gas production, and its lease database returns no leases for the county. The survey's well statistics, updated June 2025, list 66 well records in Ottawa County, 27 of them dry holes and one carrying an oil status, with no producing lease and no drilling intents on file. If you hold a deed to Ottawa County minerals, what you own is the right to lease and the chance that someone someday tests the Salina Basin again; we will tell you what that is worth, which is not much, and help you check whether your paperwork actually points to a producing county nearby. Whatever you own here, producing royalties, non-producing acreage, or an inherited fraction split among family, we will identify it from whatever paperwork you have, value it off the actual wells and activity, and show you the reasoning with the offer. Free, no obligation, and no pressure: if keeping it is the right answer, we will say so. Inherited it?

Very little, and we will say so rather than quote a number that sounds good. Ottawa County has no commercial production of record, so unleased minerals here carry only a small option value. If you are receiving royalty checks on something described as Ottawa County, the well is probably elsewhere, and we will find it for you free. Can I pass my Kansas minerals to my kids without probate? Yes. Kansas allows a transfer on death deed for any interest in real estate, severed minerals included; record it in the county where the minerals sit and the interest passes outside probate. If the owner has already died without one, Kansas allows a determination of descent in district court six months after death, which is faster than a full probate. We pay for that work when we buy. I inherited Kansas minerals that nobody has touched in decades. Do I still own them? Probably, but check before you assume. Kansas has a 20-year dormant mineral act, K.S.A. 55-1601, under which a severed mineral interest that has gone unused for 20 years can lapse back to the surface owner unless the owner records a statement of claim. Filing that statement is cheap and cures the problem. We check the dormancy question on every Kansas valuation we do, free. What does it cost me to sell? Nothing. Berlin pays all title work, document preparation, and recording costs.
