New Poll: Probate Your Minerals?

Time for a  new poll.

Results of the current poll: whether you own minerals or not, if you did, this is who you would prefer drill them (rounding):
  • Whiting: 29%
  • Continental Resources: 23%
  • BEXP: 17%
  • KOG: 8%
  • Oasis: 6%
  • Slawson: 4%
  • Burlington Resources: 2%
  • Other: 11%
Now time for a new poll. It has to do with a recent posting regarding probate and mineral rights.

First, we all agree that "everyone" should have a will. (A person with no heirs and no property may not need a will but a lawyer may disagree.)

Having said that, this is the poll. If you had minerals, would you want to pass them on to your heirs through the probate process?   (For some reason, "poll daddy" won't let me get rid of that fourth choice ("other"), but maybe there is another option than "yes, no, it depends." But I can't imagine what.)
