Vickers says, "There is no such thing as a standard lease." Giving landowners the facts before they sign that lease agreement is the subject of many meetings being held throughout the area. You are in no way obligated to sign a gas lease. You should always have an attorney review the lease before signing it and make sure that all aspects of the lease have been negotiated to your satisfaction. Keep in mind what Attorney Chris Denton has stated numerous times, "For what purpose did you purchase your land?" Please contact us at 607-334-6061 for additional information. Attorney Chris Denton (with whom we have been working with for close to 10 years) has been gracious enough to let us post several copyrighted documents. These documents are supplied to provide you with information which we hope will help you make informed decisions regarding a Gas lease that you may be considering BEFORE you sign it.
