LDBA Blog: On the Podium

With the increasing awareness of Marcellus Shale and natural gas activity – often described as no less than a “boom” – has come an increasing need for information, and nowhere is this more apparent than in the real estate field.
Accordingly, Lawrence D. Brudy, Esq., President of Lawrence D. Brudy & Associates, Inc., has been called on to explain the complexities of buying, selling and leasing real estate in what is becoming the Natural Gas Age.
Most recently, Mr. Brudy – who is also a licensed Pennsylvania real estate broker -- lectured on Marcellus Shale drilling at a Realtor Continuing Education class for the Educational Development School of Real Estate. Meeting with the realtors at the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Pittsburgh South, on July 14, Mr. Brudy discussed the listing and selling of surface and subsurface estates in land.
Earlier, Mr. Brudy spoke on the Oil, Gas and Mineral Rights Addendum to the Butler County Association of Realtors’ “Fracking” R-Day June 9 at the Twelve Oaks Mansion in Adams Township. He explained the use of the addendum used in conjunction with the Pennsylvania Association of Realtors Agreement of Sale, emphasizing the importance of using it on every real estate transaction identifying the estates in land to be “sold,” “excepted,” and “reserved.”
Recognizing the need for understanding in this relatively new field, the firm’s attorneys and certified public accountants are available to speak at organization, company or realtor meetings on the development of oil and gas interests, the determination of subsurface ownership, the valuation of oil and gas interests, buying and selling land, and estate and tax planning involving oil, gas and coal interests.
