This general mineral deed gives the grantee the right to extract by wells, mines, shafts, open pits, strip mining or any other method (whether now in use or to be developed in the future), including but not limited to, mining or other methods which are destructive of the surface.

Process is easy but system would not accept 3 different credit cards on first day. No phone number to call. Sent message and response was all 3 cards must have been declined. However, next day one of those cards went through with no problem.

The forms were easy to use but there was a software issue that made it impossible to get the county name to appear on the form in the correct place. It made the deed look a little sloppy

I was skeptical when I first came upon this website. Not sure why I had such a negative feeling, but after I received the printed deed I felt relieved and completely satisfied. This is a great website for everyone who wouldn't want to retrieve their deed in person and worth the reasonable fee.

Application is not well laid out. I guess it does the job but leaves a lot to be desired. Hard to follow
