Title Curative Basics: Documents, Pooling, and Division Orders

The paperwork that turns messy title into project-ready title.

Curative Documents

Correction deeds, ratifications, disclaimers, stipulations of interest, and affidavits of heirship are the tools curative landmen use to correct defects and clarify ownership. Drafted well, they survive the next diligence review; drafted poorly, they create new defects.

Pooling Agreements

Pooling combines tracts and interests into a producing unit under the terms each lease allows. A clean pooling agreement (or a well-drafted declaration of pooling) is the difference between a unit that produces cleanly and one that spawns litigation.
