Welcome landowners to the Landowners Wealth Management Directory
The purpose of our directory is to provide you with basic information about the management of the income you receive from leasing land and royalty payments. With money generated from the leasing and the royalty payments, you will be wise to seek professional advice to protect the funds and invest them wisely for yourself, your family and possibly future generations. This directory web site will explain the role that accountants, attorneys and financial advisors can play to assist in the management of your gas lease funds. Additionally, we will give you questions to ask professional service firms which we will help you decide the firm that is best for you.
Not only will our directory web site help you select a professional service firm(s), the directory also has listings of accountants, attorneys and financial advisors from which to choose one or more. The professional service firms in this directory are placed in the directory at the discretion of PA Gas Directory, LLC the owner of this directory.
Landowners Wealth Management Directory has been fortunate to have The Penn State Cooperative Extension Marcellus Education Team and the Pennsylvania Institute of Certified Public Accountants (PICPA) to provide content to this directory. Information from Penn State and PICPA will be easily identified in order to help you understand the source of the information.

If you are a landowner in the Marcellus Shale region, there’s a chance that you are leasing your property, or considering leasing your property, for natural gas exploration and drilling. Perhaps you have received a bonus payment for signing a gas lease and are trying to decide how to use your windfall. Or maybe you’ve been promised a bonus payment for signing a lease but you’re still waiting for your check from the gas company.
This directory web site is meant to be a financial management tool for landowners, covering the basics of what you need to know, how to manage your income from natural gas leasing, and what to consider when making financial decisions. The more you understand the concepts behind wise financial management, the better decisions you can make for your land and your family. While this directory web site outlines some things you should consider about financial issues surrounding natural gas leasing, it is not intended as legal or professional financial advice. You should consult with a financial professional, such as an attorney, certified public accountant (CPA), tax adviser, or financial planner, before making any legally binding decisions.
Some General Questions to Ask Any Professional:
- How long have you been in practice?

- What are your qualifications? Tell me about your professional credentials, certifications, and how you stay updated or remain current in your field.
- Will you provide a written contract that outlines the service agreement and fees?
- How long will the work take?
- Will any of your work be delegated to others and if so, how much?
- How do you charge or get paid (i.e., fee structure—hourly, flat, or a combination)?
