EXHIBIT 31

                                 CERTIFICATION

I, Mike Ulrich, certify that:

     1. I have reviewed this quarterly report on Form 10-Q of LL&E Royalty
Trust, for which JPMorgan Chase acts as Trustee;

     2. Based on my knowledge, this quarterly report does not contain any untrue
statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make
the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements
were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this quarterly
report;

     3. Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial
information included in this quarterly report, fairly present in all material
respects the financial condition, distributable income and changes in trust
corpus of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this quarterly
report;

     4. I am responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls
and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and
internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules
13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)), or for causing such controls and procedures to be
established and maintained, for the registrant and have:

          a) designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such
     disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under my supervision, to
     ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its
     consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to me by others within those
     entities, particularly during the period in which this quarterly report is
     being prepared;

          b) designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused
     such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under my
     supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of
     financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for
     external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting
     principles;

          c) evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant's disclosure controls
     and procedures and presented in this report my conclusions about the
     effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of
     the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and

          d) disclosed in this report any change in the registrant's internal
     control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's most
     recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected or is reasonably likely
     to materially affect the registrant's internal control over financial
     reporting; and

     5. I have disclosed, based on my most recent evaluation of internal control
over financial reporting, to the registrant's auditors:

          a) all significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design
     or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are
     reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant's ability to record,
     process, summarize and report financial information; and

          b) any fraud, whether or not material, that involves any persons who
     have a significant role in the registrant's internal control over financial
     reporting.
