Use these questions to compare proposed terms for North Dakota mineral rights. An attorney can advise on documents and your rights; a CPA or tax attorney can address tax questions.
Compare the purchaser, the interest described in the offer, costs, timing and conditions. Ask each company the same questions so the differences are clear. No checklist establishes which offer is appropriate for your circumstances.
| Topic | Question to ask |
|---|---|
| Purchaser | What legal entity is proposing to buy the interest? |
| Interest described | Which tract and interest does the offer cover? |
| Written terms | Can I review the offer and its conditions in writing? |
| Costs | Which costs would each party pay under the proposed terms? |
| Timing | What is the proposed schedule, and what could change it? |
| Records | Which public or owner-provided records inform the offer? |
Use the same questions when comparing proposed terms.

Compare the proposed interest, the identity of the purchaser, the written terms and any unresolved conditions. Ask each buyer the same questions about costs and timing. Consult a qualified attorney about transaction documents.
Location is one consideration. Ask either type of buyer who would purchase the interest, which records it is reviewing and how it would explain the proposed terms. A company address alone does not answer those questions.
Ask for the proposed purchaser’s legal name, a description of the interest, the written offer and a list of any conditions or costs. A qualified attorney can review the proposed documents and questions about your rights.
