TITLE EXAMINATION

Santoyo Wehmeyer P.C. provides title examination and diligence services. But unlike most firms, Santoyo Wehmeyer P.C. offers a team of experienced attorneys with a unique skill set that separates our Firm from typical title firms. With the Firm’s healthy oil and gas litigation and transactional practices, Santoyo Wehmeyer P.C. is positioned to identify and resolve title-related issues, whether by drafting or reviewing curative documentation or by defending against issues barreling toward litigation.

Our attorneys also have experience working closely with land departments in all phases of the development of a prospect area, including negotiation and review of lease and operational agreements, preparation of curative instruments and the creation, dissolution and reformation of pooled units. We understand that drilling schedules have to be met and do change. Working closely with your land department allows us to work more effectively and efficiently to meet your objectives and deadlines.
