Lease Bonus Verification
Confirming actual ownership before cutting a five- or six-figure lease bonus check.
Lease landmen, lessee's in-house counsel. The work gets pulled when lease ready to execute; bonus payment about to be wired or mailed.
Paying the wrong heir is unrecoverable. Probate records confirm post-decedent ownership.
Workflow
- Pull the most recent recorded conveyance to the proposed lessor
- If conveyance is from a decedent, verify probate or AOH closes the chain
- Confirm spousal joinder requirements per state community-property rules
- Cut the bonus only after the chain is clean
