§ 2-3-502 — Authorization by court; contents of petition; hearing; objections; terms, etc., of order

(a) A petition to mortgage or lease under W.S. 2-3-501, or
a petition to transfer, sell or assign royalty, overriding
royalty, leasehold or other mineral interest, or to lease the
mineral interest in the property under W.S. 2-3-503, shall show:
(i) The advantage that may accrue to the estate from
the lease, mortgage, transfer, sale or assignment;
(ii) A general description of the property to be
leased, mortgaged, sold or assigned;
(iii) The term, rental and general conditions of the
proposed lease, transfer, sale or assignment, or the amount,
maturity and rate of interest of the proposed mortgage;
(iv) The names of the legatees and devisees, if any,
and of the heirs of the deceased, or of the minor or incompetent
person, lessee, assignee or purchaser, so far as known to the
petitioner.
(b) Upon the filing of the petition, the court, if it
deems the petition sufficient, shall set the matter for hearing
and shall direct to what persons and in what manner notice of
the hearing shall be given. At the hearing any person interested
in the estate may appear and present objections to the proposed
lease, mortgage, sale or assignment. If objections are filed to
the petition, the court may adjourn the hearing to enable the
parties objecting to fully present their reasons and evidence
for and against the proposed lease, mortgage, sale or
assignment. If no objections are filed, or if upon hearing the
objections are deemed insufficient, the court may order the
lease, mortgage, transfer, sale or assignment of royalty,
overriding royalty, lease or other mineral interest, or lease of
the mineral interest in the property, upon the terms, in the
amount and for the period as is deemed proper by the court.
