How does the process of partitioning land in new mexico work?
This has been dragging on since 2003 when my dad died. He left a will splitting the ranch and estate 3 equal ways between me and my two sisters. My older sister is exector. I offered to buy them out with a fair price based on the appraisal and they refused each offer. It has come down to the land being partitioned and to be sold and split 3 ways. My concern is that their attorneys (I am doing this pro-se) have picked a ranch expert to do the partitiong and I do not agree with that because my sister (the executor) is now wanting to buy it. And I have a feeling that she will then sell it to a ranch neighbor who has wanted it for a long time. This ranch is on the Otero Mesa which has a vast amount of natural gas under it. Their is major controversey over the starting of drilling. The 640 acres of private land is owned by the me and my 2 sisters. The BLM lease and state lease is in probate. My grandfather homesteaded this ranch and I would like to find out if they are mineral rights .

Bertie-sorry I missed the first part of your question. The mineral rights would have had to be divested by deed, so go to your county clerk and have her search the legal description. You can do this pro se, but this is worth spending some money on for an expert appraisal
