Royalty interest owners receiving more than $10 and working-interest owners receiving more than $ 600 annually receive IRS Form 1099. This summarizes your total payments and tax withholdings for the previous year.
Each state makes an effort to locate rightful owners of production revenues through a single organization, holding the funds forever until the owner is found. To locate and collect unclaimed funds, visit the National Association of Unclaimed Property Administrators’ (NAUPA) website at www.unclaimed.org.

Most royalty owners will receive a monthly check. Small amounts are accumulated and paid as stated in your division order, usually $100, or once a year. Most states also have laws that affect this policy.
Due to the many variables involved in determining the estimated value of your property, we cannot provide such valuations. We recommend that you contact the operator of your property or an oil and gas broker in the area where the property is located in order to obtain this type of valuation.
Unfortunately, we are unable to provide forms for conveying oil and gas interests. However, you may contact an attorney, legal aid society, or your local bar association for assistance in handling these matters.
