MINERAL RIGHTS

Mineral Rights & Oil and Gas Law 


Protecting Landowners in Montana and North Dakota



Do you own mineral rights in Montana or North Dakota and need assistance transferring them? Have you been contacted by an oil and gas company claiming that you are an heir to mineral rights that were never properly transferred? These situations are common in eastern Montana and western North Dakota, especially with the growth of the Bakken oil development. The attorneys at Netzer Krautter Law Firm have decades of experience helping landowners protect and maximize the value of their mineral rights.


Experienced Montana Mineral Rights Lawyers Focused on Representing Landowners


Our law firm represents landowners only—not oil and gas companies. We know how important mineral rights can be to Montana and North Dakota families, and we are committed to ensuring that your rights are protected. As trusted Montana mineral rights lawyers and North Dakota oil and gas attorneys, we provide clear guidance in an area of law that is often overwhelming and highly technical.


How We Help with Mineral Rights and Oil & Gas Issues


We handle a wide range of oil and gas law matters for landowners, including:


  • Mineral Rights Title & Transfer
    We assist with clearing title and properly transferring ownership of mineral rights through inheritance, probate, trusts, or sales.
  • Oil & Gas Lease Negotiations
    Oil companies often present contracts that favor their interests. We review and negotiate oil and gas leases to secure fair terms, maximize royalties, and protect you from hidden pitfalls.
  • Royalty Disputes & Underpayment
    Many landowners discover they are not being paid correctly for their oil and gas production. We pursue claims for royalty underpayment and ensure your financial rights are enforced.
  • Liens on Oil & Gas Wells
    If you are owed royalties, lease payments, or compensation for services, we can file and enforce liens on oil and gas wells to protect your interests.
  • Negotiating Sale of Mineral Rights & Royalties
    Whether you are considering selling your mineral rights outright or negotiating a royalty interest, our attorneys can evaluate offers, advise on market value, and help you make an informed decision.
