Facts
The Wyatts purchased property in eastern Tennessee in 1953. In 1975, the Wyatts entered an installment contract to sell some of the land to Milton Bemos, and they retained a royalty interest. The parties later amended the contract to extend the closing date and increase the Wyatt’s royalty interest to 3.5% of the gross sales price on all coal mined from the property. The 1975 contract was canceled in 1978.1
