Inheriting Mineral Rights
Inheriting mineral rights can seem complicated, particularly when you've never dealt with mineral rights before. Mineral rights are currently in a booming market, which makes it crucial to have a thorough knowledge of mineral rights if you wish to put them up for sale. Surface rights and mineral rights are often severed, meaning that owning land does not always include mineral rights, and ownership of mineral rights does not always consist of owning surface property. Similarly, fragmentation of inherited mineral rights is common: an individual may choose to split the mineral rights between children, who may then divide them further with the next generation. Regardless, even fractions of mineral rights can be valuable assets.
Finding Ownership of Mineral Rights
Discovering whether you inherited mineral rights along with surface rights of a property can be a complicated process. The most common ways of discovering whether these rights exist or are currently leased can involve getting in touch with any of the following:
- Oil and gas landmen
- County clerk’s office
- Chain of title
Oil and gas companies contract people called landmen that are responsible for tracking down the mineral rights to property. This could include visiting the local clerk’s office responsible for land ownership titles and paperwork to discover the chain of title for a specific piece of property. The chain of title is a list of any change in ownership over mineral rights.

We’re located in Austin, TX, and because we have connections to thousands of oil and gas royalties and mineral rights buyers, we know that we can get you the best deal if you are looking to sell your mineral rights, whether you’re located in Texas or anywhere else in the U.S.
The Mineral Auction provided me with an invaluable exit strategy when selling a mineral interest that one of my clients had. I’d recommend them to anyone who has the need to create some liquidity.
Blake is excellent. We have used him in numerous family issues and find him always direct and very helpful. He is incredibly informed and our go-to guy.
Blake and I have worked on several deals together and they have always gone off without a hitch. Both parties leave the table satisfied. Highly recommended!
Blake hit it out of the park! He did everything he said he would do, and then some. He far exceeded our expectations within a day! If you are concerned about paying commission or being restricted to a broker – don’t be. He will max out the value of your minerals. I tried to negotiate with several buyers on my own and didn’t come within the same universe.
Blake Bergstrom helped my family negotiate the sale of our mineral rights for our small ranch outside of San Antonio. I found Blake to be very knowledgable about whole process and took the time to answer all our questions. We were very satisified with the transaction and have already recommended Blake and The Mineral Auction to some our friends. Thanks again.
I have mineral rights to natural gas and Blake was excellent in his advice regarding my situation. Thanks a lot for your help!
