Frequently Asked Questions

Why should I sell my mineral rights?
- Selling your mineral rights is a personal decision.
- Selling may be preferable for you should you prefer to receive the value of your mineral rights in a lump sum instead of over months and years to come.
- Other reasons owners choose to sell their mineral rights are:
  - to remove the ambiguity surrounding how long a well will produce;
  - to receive a lump sum instead of declining royalty payments;
  - to eliminate the need to keep up with a single or small number of mineral rights owned in an area;
  - to eliminate the taxes associated with mineral rights, including the need to keep up with extra filings and paperwork associated with tax payments due;
  - to plan for your Estate or cash out your equity for other uses, such as a 1031 Exchange.
How does the valuation process work?
- Valuations are based upon the current value of future income streams. We’ll review your three most recent pay stubs indicating the royalty income of the lease in which you own a royalty interest. We will consider the latest production information and your royalty payment to determine our highest offer for your interest.
I own more than one mineral interest in various counties / states. Will you make me an offer on each mineral property?
- We buy mineral rights in various counties and states. We’ll review any mineral property you choose to request an offer for and will let you know if we need additional information.
What If I do not have copies of my Check Stubs, Lease Agreement or Order for Payment?
- Contact your Operator, the company which leased the rights from you or check online. (You may need to check your banking records to determine the company making your payments).
What If I do not have a copy of my mineral deed?
- Existing Mineral deeds are filed with the County where the mineral property is owned. Contact your county clerk to request a copy or determine if a copy is available online.
- In the event that a current mineral deed does not exist yet because you inherited your mineral rights, you will need a copy of the document(s) that entitled you to inherit the rights, such as a Will or Trust documents.
How long does the process take?
- We can usually get you paid within 30 days of receipt of your signed agreement to sell the mineral rights to us. We will still need to confirm title and ownership, including our due diligence, and there can be delays occasionally, but we make every effort to get you your cash promptly.
