My grandfather left is land in trust to myself and 3 other...
Probably not.
It's important to read the language of the trust to figure out what all of you have the right to do. But unless the gas rights were deeded to one person in particular, the beneficiaries should share the income from the leases equally.
Because your situation may involve some legal complications, it may be a good idea to get some professional assistance. A good starting point is to contact a local lawyer’s referral service. Many county and state bar associations sponsor these services, and charge a nominal fee of $30 to $50 for a 30 to 45 minute consultation.
Beware, however, that the sponsoring organizations generally do not research or endorse the attorneys you'll find through these services, so you may need to do some comparison shopping before you find one who is a good fit for you, especially if he or she goes beyond the initial consultation.
Make sure you bring a complete copy of the trust document so the lawyer can see how and whether it controls splitting up the land and the income.
