FOR LANDOWNERS & MINERAL OWNERS
Inherited land or minerals, and not sure where to start?
That’s exactly who this page is for.
If you’ve inherited mineral or royalty interests, gotten a letter from someone offering to buy your rights, or you’re just trying to figure out what you actually own, you’re in the right place. This isn’t the corporate side of the business. This is for individual owners and families navigating decisions about land and minerals, often for the first time.
I’m Kevin Dickerson, a Certified Professional Landman with 28 years in oil & gas land management. I’ve spent my career on the industry side. Now I bring that same experience to individual owners and families, not just operators.
WHAT I CAN HELP WITH
“Is this offer letter legit?” Someone wants to buy your mineral rights, and you don’t know if the price is fair or the deadline is real.
“What do I actually own?” Old deeds, family records, and a name that may or may not still match who’s actually on title.
Division orders. You’ve been sent one to sign and don’t know what it means or why it matters.
Family decisions. Multiple heirs, different opinions, and a piece of land that’s about more than the numbers.
Leases and surface use. Someone wants access to the property, and you want to understand what you’re agreeing to before you sign anything.
If your situation doesn’t fit neatly into one of these, that’s fine too. Send me a message and we’ll figure out where to start.
WHY WORK WITH ME
Certified Professional Landman (CPL) — the industry’s highest professional credential, held by a small fraction of practicing landmen.
28 years of experience — most of it on the industry side, negotiating on behalf of operators. Now that same judgment works for you.
Families, not just companies — I bring the same care to a single heir’s decision that I’ve brought to multi-million dollar transactions.
No pressure, no jargon — you’ll get a straight answer in plain English, even when that answer is “don’t sign yet.”
