Things for Landowners to Consider When Signing Over Mineral Rights to Gas Companies

The gentleman in this video talks about things landowners need to consider, in detail, before signing land rights over to gas companies. He does not profess to offer legal or financial advice, and he does not declare a positive or negative stance in regards to fracking, he simply points out things most people would not think about and asks viewers to weigh the options before signing anything - like - if you sign over all mineral rights you cannot always later refinance or sell your property because a lien can be put against your property's mineral rights. That's not all, if you have about 20 minutes and 23 seconds to spare, this information is well worth learning, and could even be vital to your financial future.

MIT is test-marketing a new software program to help loandowners make sure drilling proposals from companies are fair and safe.
