Factors affecting mineral rights values

Posted on Thursday, January 23rd, 2014 at 9:03 pm    

Individuals planning to sell their mineral rights want to ensure that they will be getting the highest possible price for their minerals. However, determining the worth of the minerals underneath a property might be very challenging as mineral rights are valued based on a variety of factors.

Typically, a buyer’s offer price is high if previous records in the area indicate success in drilling activities. Mineral prices and trends in the market also affect the value of the mineral right. Additionally, other costs such as transportation and taxes relevant in the area may also have an impact.

Mineral right owners face the challenge of optimizing their revenue by ensuring an appropriate approach in determining the value of their mineral property. Equipped with extensive market knowledge, connections, and resources, our Texas-based team at The Mineral Auction is ready to bring out the best value of your mineral rights when you call (512) 698-2802 today.


Understanding the division of surface and mineral estates

Posted on Tuesday, January 14th, 2014 at 5:24 pm    

Land ownership under the Texas law includes two different sets of estates (rights), the surface estate and the mineral estate. Although surface landowners usually own the minerals found underneath their properties, several areas in Texas have surface estates and mineral estates divided. This division, or ‘severance,’ allows both the surface and the mineral rights to be separately owned by different people or entities.

In Texas, areas with a record of extensive mineral and oil development are oftentimes the areas where surface and mineral rights are severed. It is important to determine whether you own a property in which the mineral right is separated from the surface right by consulting a knowledgeable professional adept in understanding and interpreting laws surrounding surface and mineral rights ownership.

Knowing that you own the mineral underneath the property you possess provides you the chance to sell your mineral right to prospected buyers. However, selling your mineral right can be risky and complicated without the help of our experienced mineral rights brokers from The Mineral Auction.
