When are royalty payments suspended?
	For your protection, payments are suspended upon a title dispute, the assignment of interest, notice of death, transfer of property, or in the event of no known address. Keeping your information current can prevent this inconvenience.

How do I make an ownership transfer?
	To transfer your interest, you must provide Encana the following:
	Copy of recorded conveyance document. For trusts, send us a copy of the trust agreement along with a copy of the recorded document transferring the interest into the trust.

How does a royalty interest get transferred if an owner dies?
	If the decedent died testate (with a will) and the will is being probated, the following must be submitted for our review:
	Death certificate Will Order admitting the will to probate (or its equivalent depending on the state in which the proceedings were conducted)
	In addition, for states other than Texas, include:
	Letters Testamentary and Final Decree of Distribution or Letters Testamentary and recorded conveyance from Personal Representative
	If the decedent died intestate (without a will), but the estate is probated:
	Provide copy of death certificate Letters of Administration Final Decree when available for states other than Texas or Recorded conveyance from Administrator
	If the decedent died intestate (without a will), and the estate was not probated, or the will was not probated in the state where the property is located, we may be able to rely on an Affidavit of Heirship in order to follow the laws of descent and distribution for the state where the property is located.
	Contact the Customer Service Center at 1-866-917-3700 and ask to speak to the Division Order Analyst in that area to see if an Affidavit of Heirship will be accepted. An Affidavit of Heirship must be completed by a person other than a relative or an heir to the decedent's estate. The affiant's signature must be notarized. The Affidavit must be filed for record in the county, or counties, where the property is located. A blank Affidavit of Heirship form can be mailed upon your request.
	To comply fully with the various state statutes, it is strongly suggested that you consult an attorney familiar with the laws of the state in which the property is located to open ancillary probate.

I wish to change the name on my account, what documents do I need to provide?
If an individual's name changes due to marriage or divorce, please send Encana a recorded copy of marriage certificate, divorce decree, or other document effecting the name change. For company or corporate name changes, send a recorded certificate of name change (verification of tax ID should be included) For company or Corporate name changes due to a merger, send the recorded Certificate of Merger.

I wish to sell my mineral rights, who do I contact?
	Please send your request in writing to Encana's mailing address, attention: Land Department. Furnish your name, address, payee number if known, and the legal description and name of the property, if known, including the county and state where the property is located.

I need to know the value of my minerals
	Encana cannot provide any information on valuation since such information is an opinion based on proprietary information. However, Encana can provide a record or history of payments.
