Real Questions
Common Concerns We Hear
I don't know exactly what I own — can I still inquire?
Absolutely. You do not need any documents to receive an offer — just tell us what you know and we can often piece together the picture through public records. Documentation to verify ownership (such as a check stub, division order, or deed) will be needed at closing, and we can help you locate those when the time comes.
What if my minerals are currently under a lease?
Leased minerals are still very much sellable. In fact, a property with an active lease and producing wells often commands a higher price. The existing lease simply transfers with the minerals to the buyer.
I inherited these minerals — is the process more complicated?
Inherited minerals can involve extra steps for title chain verification, but we handle all of that. We may need a copy of the probate documents or letters testamentary. We can walk you through exactly what is needed at no cost.
Will I owe taxes when I sell?
The sale of mineral rights is generally treated as a capital asset sale for tax purposes. The gain is typically the difference between your basis (what you paid, or the fair market value at the time you inherited them) and the sale price. We strongly recommend speaking with a tax professional before closing.
