FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

     AUSTIN, Texas, April 11, 2011—LL&E Royalty Trust (Pink Sheets:LRTR.pk — News) announced that LL&E Royalty Trust (the “Trust”) and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the “Trustee”) of the Trust, have agreed to a postponement of the hearing originally scheduled for April 14, 2011 relating to the Complaint for Legal and Equitable Relief (the “Complaint”) filed by Jeff Beckett in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Michigan. The hearing is expected to be rescheduled for a later date.

     As previously announced, the Complaint seeks a judicial modification of the terms of the Trust Agreement governing the Trust, a judgment declaring that the termination provisions of the Trust Agreement do not apply and an order preventing the sale of the Trust’s assets.

By pending motion, the Trustee is seeking to have the lawsuit dismissed or transferred to federal court in Texas. The Trust and Trustee agreed to the postponement of the hearing in an effort to reduce legal expenses and allow additional time for discussions between the Trustee and the plaintiff.
