Subject: [WSBAPT] referral MT mineral rights atty

 

Listmates:  We are handling the probate of an estate in which decedent held
inherited Montana mineral rights.

 

Any recommendations for attorneys who could help transfer the rights to the
surviving spouse and then gift same to the children?  Or perhaps attorney(s)
in Billings I could contact for ideas?

 

Thanks, as always, in advance.

 

Kate
