We've Been Mineral Rights Holders Since Statehood

Our family has held mineral interests in Oklahoma for generations. Over that time, those interests have done what mineral rights do: they get passed down, split up, and passed down again. What started as whole sections became fractional interests spread across multiple counties, multiple operators, and multiple family members.

For most of that history, one person in the family kept track of it all. My father handled the leases, watched the checks, knew which operators were on which properties, and kept the paperwork organized. The rest of us knew the basics, but he had the full picture.

Then He Was Gone

When my father passed away, that knowledge didn't transfer cleanly. He had everything written down, but it was scattered across file folders, notebooks, and old check stubs. Piecing together what we owned, where it was, and who was operating on it took real effort.

We were lucky enough to have a family friend who worked with a land company. He helped us research, run title, and consolidate everything into something we could understand. Without him, we would have been starting from scratch with no idea what we owned, where it was, or who was operating on it.

After that process, I took over managing the mineral interests for my mom. Tracking the royalty payments, keeping up with lease expirations, making sure nothing fell through the cracks.

The Software Didn't Exist

I went looking for software that could help. What I found was built for a different customer. The tools on the market were designed for land companies, investment firms, and professional mineral managers with large portfolios. They were complex, expensive, and assumed you had a land department to run them.

That wasn't us. We were a family with inherited fractional interests, trying to keep track of what we owned and what we were being paid. We didn't need a land management platform. We needed one clear place to record our properties, log our royalty checks, attach our documents, and see it all together.

So I built it.

What MinRight Is

MinRight is the software I wished existed when I started managing my family's mineral rights. It's built for people like us: individual owners, families, and small holders who have inherited interests over the years and need a way to keep it all organized without a land degree or an enterprise budget.

It tracks properties, leases, wells, operators, royalty payments, tax records, deadlines, and documents. It shows you what you own and what it's paying you. And it keeps everything on your computer, because your mineral rights information is your business.

We use it ourselves.
