It depends on the wells and units actually touching your tract, their decline, and your decimal, and in Franklin County that ranges from legacy stripper royalties to active development, so county averages mislead. We value off the actual wells and activity and show the work, free. The operator is paying me late. What does Mississippi law say? Under Miss. Code 53-3-39, royalties are due within 120 days after the first sale from a well, and after that the operator owes interest at the greater of 8 percent or 2 points over the federal discount rate. If a check stops, the first step is a written demand to the operator, and we will help you draft it whether or not you sell. My Mississippi minerals came through an estate. What clears the title? Mississippi has no dormant mineral act, so an inherited fraction does not lapse for lack of use, but the operator will not pay it until the record shows who owns it. What clears inherited title is the probate if there was a will, or a chancery court determination of heirship under Miss. Code 91-1-27 if there was not.
