Section 149.080 - Hearing on petition; order directing personal representative to make lease; terms of lease; recordation of copy of order1. At the time appointed, the court shall hear the petition and any objection that may have been presented, and if the court is satisfied that it will be to the advantage of the estate, it shall enter an order directing the personal representative to make the lease.2. The order must set forth the minimum rental or royalty and the period of the lease, which must be for such time as the court may authorize, except as otherwise provided in subsection 5 with respect to a lease for the purpose of production of minerals, oil, gas or other hydrocarbon substances or natural steam.3. The order may authorize other terms and conditions, including, with respect to a lease for the purpose of production of minerals, oil, gas or other hydrocarbon substances or natural steam, a provision for the payment of rental and royalty to a depositary, and for the appointment of a common agent to represent the interest of all the lessors, and, if the lease is for the purpose of production of oil, gas or other hydrocarbon substances or natural steam, including a provision for the payment of a compensatory royalty in lieu of rental and in lieu of drilling and producing operations on the property covered by the lease, and including a provision empowering the lessee to enter into any agreement with lessees, operators or owners of other property for the purpose of bringing about the cooperative development and operation of all or parts of the field of which the leased property is a part, or for the development and operation of all or parts of the field as a unit.4. If the lease covers additional property owned by other persons or an undivided interest of the decedent, or other interest of the decedent less than the entire ownership in the property, it may provide for division of rental and royalty in the proportion that the property or interest of each owner bears to the total area of the property or total interests covered by the lease.5. A lease for the purpose of production of minerals, oil, gas or other hydrocarbon substances or natural steam may be for a fixed period, and so long thereafter as minerals, oil, gas or other hydrocarbon substances or natural steam are produced in paying quantities from the property leased or mining or drilling operations are conducted thereon, and, if the lease provides for the payment of a compensatory royalty, so long as the compensatory royalty is paid, and, if the property covered by the lease is included in an agreement with lessees, operators or owners of other property for cooperative development or unit operation of a larger area including the leased property, so long as oil, gas or other hydrocarbon substances or natural steam are produced in paying quantities from any of the property included in any such agreement or drilling operations are conducted thereon.6. A certified copy of the order must be recorded in the office of the county recorder of every county in which the leased property, or any portion thereof, is located.[182:107:1941; A 1951, 223]-(NRS A 1961, 65; 1965, 125; 1999, 2327)[182:107:1941; A 1951, 223] - (NRS A 1961, 65; 1965, 125; 1999, 2327)
