<prompt> Human: First off, I want to clarify that it is my mom and two uncles who own the mineral rights to the land, not me. They do not own the land itself, but what is underneath. The land itself is 156 Acres and my mom and uncles collectively have the mineral rights to 13 of this 19th each. Currently my family receives royalties, however they have not actually done any drilling for oil yet. They only get paid out 150 per year. Recently we have received a letter from a new energy company offering to buy their share of the rights for a total of 40,500.00 Cdn 13,500.00 Cdn ea. They have also been given a deadline to either decline or accept this offer by Oct. 18th, 2017 which is aprox. 13 days after we received the later.What should we do? We do not want to agree to this deal without being probably informed. We do not want to get ripped off so what steps should we take to avoid that? We are completely in the dark on what to do here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.TL;DR An energy company wants to buy my familys minerals rights. What steps should we take before agreeing to this to avoid getting ripped off. Thanks!  <response>: 40k isnt much from an oil company. Negotiate.
