Is the landowner entitled to the lease bonus payment on an oil and gas lease?

Not if you only own the surface and you don't own the minerals or mineral rights. You would be entitled to damages to the land though. I am a buyer of mineral rights or minerals in North Dakota, Colorado, Oklahoma, Texas, Wyoming and other states. Call or email me before you sell or if you need any help.
