In Re: Kost Ventures 1, Ltd., Case No. 18-51711, Bankr. S.D. Texas, San Antonio (adversarial bankruptcy attempting to delay multimillion dollar judgment).
Recovered monies and land in multiple cases concerning so called "leases" of non-participating royalty interests. The instruments are void oil and gas leases by estoppel.
Recovered monies and land in multiple cases where owners of "floating" non-participating royalty interests are paid on a "fixed" basis. Floating royalties change with the underlying lease; fixed royalties remain constant.
Recovered monies and land in a lawsuit concerning nonpayment of overriding royalty interests. Overrides are not subject to adverse possession. The presence of an unrecorded override in an operator's pay deck is notice to successors.
Recovered monies and land in a lawsuit concerning the distinction between "land described" and "estate conveyed." Mineral conveyances are proportionately reduced when they are described in terms of the "estate conveyed."
Recovered monies and land in a lawsuit concerning a deed which conveyed "1/8 [of the minerals] now owned by grantors." The phrase is a warranty, not an implied reservation. All of each grantor's 1/8 mineral interest was conveyed, for a total of 1/4.
