RE: Mineral Title Research / Portion of Section 29, T65, R88W / Garfield County
Don —
1 initiated my research in the Garfield County Recorder's Office by finding the patent issued for the
subject lands. The patent did not reserve the mineral estate to the original patentee, so the mineral and
surface estates passed from the United States to Chapman. 1 continued to follow the chain of title and
the conveyances of the subject lands and minerals, through to the Warranty Deed to Linda Helmich,
recorded at Reception #637463. I found no deeds that reserved all or a portion of the mineral estate,
nor did i find any recorded deeds that conveyed out all or a fraction of the mineral estate.
My research then turned to any records of the mineral estate that may be identified or tracked by the
Garfield County Assessor. I found no accounts or schedules associated with ownership of mineral rights
for the subject lands. Based on this research it appears that you and Linda own the mineral estate
under the subject lands.
It has been my pleasure conducting this research. Please contact me at your convenience if 1 can be of
further assistance.
