Frequently Asked Questions
A 1031 Exchange is a way to sell property (like land or mineral rights) and buy another similar property without paying taxes right away on the profit you made. The key is that both properties must be "like-kind," meaning they are used for business or investment. This helps people grow or change their investments while putting off capital gains taxes.
Yes, you can sell or buy just a portion of mineral rights. For example, if you own 100%, you might choose to sell 25% and keep the rest. This is very common, especially within families or among investors. You don’t have to sell all or nothing.
To keep minerals in the family, it’s important to have clear ownership documents, a plan for passing them on, and ideally, someone to help manage them. You can set up a trust, LLC, or family agreement to avoid confusion and protect your assets over time. Good record-keeping is key to avoid legal issues later.
You can transfer minerals through a gift, sale, inheritance, or deed. The most common ways are through a will or living trust after someone passes away, or by signing a mineral deed to transfer ownership while still living. It’s important to work with a land or title professional to make sure the transfer is done legally and properly recorded.
An oil and gas valuation tells you how much your mineral rights or royalties are worth. This is based on things like current production, market prices, lease terms, and future drilling potential. Professionals look at your property’s location, history, and income to give you an estimate of value. It’s a useful step before selling, leasing, or passing rights on to family.
A production statement or revenue summary is a document you get from an oil or gas company that shows how much oil or gas was produced from your property and how much money you were paid.
It’s important to share this when getting a valuation because it helps us understand how your minerals are performing, how much income they’re generating, and what they might be worth in the future. The more details we have, the more accurate your valuation will be.
Running title usually takes anywhere from a few days to a few weeks, depending on how complex the ownership history is and where the minerals are located.
If the records are clear and easy to find, it can be done quickly. But if the minerals have changed hands many times, or there are missing documents, it can take longer. We always do our best to move as fast as possible while making sure everything is accurate.
Minerals are the oil, gas, or other resources found under the ground. If you own mineral rights, you can lease them to drill or produce, and in return, you get paid. These payments are called royalties.
