Landowner Rights

A Montana Lawyer for Defense of Landowner Rights

Surface land ownership and rights to the natural resources — including oil and gas — that are accessible from Montana land are not always held by the same people or entities. Our firm in Shelby, Montana, is an excellent source of legal information and action when concerns arise about land use, water and mineral rights, environmental issues and more.

Whatever asset or capability you need to protect, attorney Brad Aklestad will hear you out and be prepared to provide research, analysis, and legal guidance squarely targeted at a favorable resolution for you. To discuss your rights as a landowner and the best approach to any type of dispute, please contact us today and request a free initial consultation.

Natural Resources Use and Disputes — Protecting Your Land and Its Value

Almost any situation where rights or resources are shared — whether due to existing circumstances or by agreement — can lead to personally and financially significant disputes. We are well equipped to deal with all manner of Montana landowner rights issues, including:

  • Disputes originating in split estates — with water rights and/or mineral rights held by a party other than the landowner
  • Resolution of title problems and other land ownership issues
  • Valuation of your interests and negotiation of leases and other contracts, including granting of options for wind energy development
  • Problems arising from a third party damaging or otherwise diminishing the value of your land

An Honest, Trustworthy Attorney with Relevant Knowledge and Perspective

Whether you need to formalize your landowner rights, amend them, or take aggressive action to protect them, you can take a major positive step by sitting down with Mr. Aklestad to discuss your circumstances and what is at stake. Montana agriculture and natural resources law is a primary focus for our firm.

We will work aggressively and diligently on your behalf regardless of the status or strength of the opposing party. Please contact us today to arrange a consultation focused on your specific needs and goals, with a lawyer who is also a landowner and farmer.
