Considering Selling Your Mineral and Royalty Rights?

Are you contemplating the idea of selling your mineral and royalty rights? If so, you're not alone. Many mineral owners find themselves in the same position, contemplating whether selling is the right decision for them.

Why Sell?

There are several reasons why individuals choose to sell their mineral and royalty rights. Financial concerns often top the list. Selling these rights can provide an immediate infusion of cash, which may be appealing to those needing a lump sum for various purposes such as paying off debts, investing in other ventures, or funding retirement.


Another significant reason is risk mitigation. Owning mineral and royalty rights can come with uncertainties, including market fluctuations, exploration risks, and the possibility of long-term delays or disappointments in extraction. Selling can transfer these risks to the buyer, relieving the owner from potential financial burdens and responsibilities.

Some of the most frequent questions we receive are “how can I own mineral rights in Ohio when I never lived there” or “how can I own mineral rights owned by my great-grandfather” and other derivatives of such questions. Ohio historically has produced oil for economic purposes since 1860 (natural gas – 1884), being the 2nd oldest oil producing state in the United States. Due to Ohio’s long oil and gas production history, there are an abundance of instances where mineral owners have reserved (retained from the sale of a property) or sold (only) the mineral rights they owned. Transactions such as these create what is known as a “mineral estate”. Once separated, the mineral estate often passes generationally. 

We have found the most efficient way to discuss matters such as these is through phone or in-person meetings. Using these mediums eliminates the often unnecessary back and forth communication arising from email/mail correspondence.
