Re: Mineral Rights Transfer
Interesting conflict of laws question. I believe the transfer of mineral rights would be pursuant to the statutes of Pennsylvania, the state in which the real property is located. I would urge you to request Columbia Gas to assist you in the intended transfer, as they have a beneficial interest and undoubtedly the capability to assist you in such a transfer at a minimal cost (if any).
