1. Ownership Change/Transfer:

It is Verado’s policy that changes will not be made without a copy of the recorded conveyance, and this includes suspending interest before the transfer is made. Once you have the recorded deed (recorded in all counties where the property is located), please email it to ownerrelations@veradoenergy.com. Your transfer will be reviewed in the order in which it is received, and it is our goal to complete these transfers within 90 days of receiving the required documentation.

2. In the event of the death of the owner:

If the owner’s estate has been probated in Texas:

We will need a copy of the following:

  • Death Certificate
  • Application to Admit Will to Probate (recorded in County where the property is located)
  • Order Admitting Will to Probate (recorded in County where the property is located)
  • Letters Testamentary
  • Last Will and Testament (recorded in County where the property is located)
  • Complete list of heirs with addresses, telephone numbers and Tax I.D.’s or SSN’s. See the New Owner Information Request Form.

*NOTE:  If the probate proceedings were filed outside the state of Texas, they have no jurisdiction over property located in Texas.  To establish title, it will be necessary that authenticated (exemplified) copies of the Will and Order Admitting Will to Probate be recorded in the counties where the property is located.

If the estate has NOT been probated:

We will need a copy of the following:

  • Death Certificate
  • Affidavit of Heirship completed by at least two disinterested parties (non-heirs), but familiar with the family history (recorded in County where the property is located)
  • Complete list of heirs with addresses, telephone numbers and Tax I.D.’s or SSN’s. See the New Owner Information Request Form.

You cannot just add your spouse or another individual to your account. You can, however, provide us with written consent to provide information to that individual on your behalf if you’d like.

To add a name to your account, you will need to provide us with a recorded deed (recorded in all counties where the property is located) conveying your interest to you and the other individual as joint tenants.

Provide a copy of the conveyance document from the individual(s) into the Trust, recorded in the counties where the properties are located, along with a copy of the Trust Agreement. Please note that the Trustee of the Trust needs to be named as the Grantee in the conveyance document from the individual. For further information or questions on this matter, please contact your attorney.
Please provide a copy of the trust agreement naming the Successor Trustee. This document does not need to be recorded.
Verado does not provide valuations for interests. We can provide a payment history to assist you.
Verado cannot provide any letter of this type, because there are too many variables involved with oil and gas production, such as variable pricing, mechanical issues, force majeure factors such as natural disasters, etc.

1099 documents are mailed by January 31st of each year. If you need a copy of your 1099, please contact the Revenue department by calling (214) 368-5322 or by email at revenue@veradoenergy.com.

Verado makes revenue distribution settlements by the last workday of each month. The date your revenue is paid depends on when Verado receives payment from our purchasers of production. You will receive payment no earlier than 30 days after the month of production and no later than 60 days after the month of production. For newly drilled wells, it usually takes 2-3 months after first production (or longer) to get title reviewed, division orders mailed, and initial production paid.

Typically, this is because your account is in a minimum-pay status. Verado remits revenue checks once a balance exceeds $100.00. All revenue, regardless of the amount, is disbursed once a year in late September. If your amount is above the minimum payment, please allow two weeks before contacting Verado if you receive your revenue by check and not direct deposit.

If your check is lost, stolen, or older than 6 months, please contact the Revenue department by calling (214) 368-5322 or by email at revenue@veradoenergy.com.

Verado does not offer voluntary tax withholding.

Verado has a $100.00 minimum payment amount. You will receive a check once your revenue amount reaches $100.00, or once a year in late September when all minimum payment amounts are released.

A Division Order is a document detailing your ownership information in a property/well(s) or unit. The document authorizes distribution of funds according to your ownership decimal interest. The Division Order does not represent a sale of your property, nor does it change your lease terms. When you sign and return the Division Order, you confirm that you agree with the information disclosed in the document.
Many factors contribute to your payment, including market conditions, fluctuating commodity prices, regulatory or contractual changes, production volumes, seasonal conditions, and well downtime.
