Royalty Owner FAQs
For mailing address changes, use the electronic form provided below. An address change request is needed even if you receive payments by direct deposit. Your correct address on file will allow you to receive your 1099 each year and other correspondence mailed by Maverick.
For ownership changes, please visit the Change of Ownership section.
Maverick offers a direct deposit payment option for its interest owners. To sign up for direct deposit, please complete the Direct Deposit Enrollment Form and return the form either by email to ownerrelations@mavresources.com or via the electronic form for document submission below.
Revenue checks are mailed on the final business day of each month, provided your account has reached Minimum Pay Status with a balance of at least $100. If your check is more than two weeks late, contact Owner Relations. You may be required to submit a written authorization to stop payment and re-issue the check.
The most common reason for not receiving a revenue check is because your account has not reached Minimum Pay Status. Maverick remits revenue only once a royalty owner’s account balance exceeds $100. Occasionally, payments are held because of uncertainty as to ownership and released when that uncertainty has been resolved.
It is important that you cash your revenue check in a timely fashion, regardless of the amount. If you find a stale-dated check, please contact Owner Relations to have the check re-issued.
Form 1099s are issued on or before January 31 each year. If you do not receive your 1099 by February 16, or if the information contained on your 1099 is incorrect, please contact Owner Relations.
