Selling inherited Texas minerals from Kentucky: six steps

Six steps an heir who lives outside Texas can take to sell an inherited Texas mineral or royalty interest, from gathering the paperwork to reviewing the deed before signing. This is general information, not legal advice.

Step 1: Gather the paperwork you have

Collect recent royalty check stubs, division orders, any mineral deed and the estate papers that name the heirs. A check stub usually shows the payor, the property name and the owner’s decimal interest.

Documents to gather before requesting an offer

Step 2: Identify the Texas county and the operator

The legal description on a deed or lease names the county, and the payor on a check stub is the company sending the royalties. Together they identify the interest to anyone reviewing it.

Step 3: Find out how the interest passed to the heirs

Whether the county records already show the heirs as owners, or a probate, will or heirship step is still open, is a title question. A qualified attorney in Texas, the state where the minerals are located, can say which applies to the estate.

Step 4: Request written offers from more than one buyer

A single offer has nothing to be measured against. Written offers from more than one buyer show the market for this specific interest.

Step 5: Compare the offers on the same terms

Check whether each price is firm or subject to title review, whether the deed covers named tracts or every interest in the county, and who receives royalties held in suspense when the sale closes.

Step 6: Review the deed and purchase agreement before signing

Read the mineral deed and any purchase agreement in full before signing. A qualified attorney in Texas, the state where the minerals are located, can review both.

What a mineral deed is

Is a lawyer worth it for a small interest?

That depends on the interest, the estate and the paperwork, so no general page can answer it for one owner. A qualified attorney in Texas, the state where the minerals are located, can review title, the mineral deed and the purchase agreement, and can explain what that review covers before it starts. This is general information, not legal advice.

Documents to gather before requesting an offer

Comparing competing offers: four questions

Is there more than one written offer? A single offer has nothing to be measured against; written offers from more than one buyer show the market for this specific interest. How to compare offers

Is the price firm, or subject to title review? A price that is subject to title review can change after the buyer examines title, so a firm price and a conditional one are not the same number.

Does the deed convey specific tracts, or everything in the county? Each buyer proposes its own deed, and what the deed’s wording covers matters as much as the price. A qualified attorney in the state where the minerals are located can say what a proposed deed conveys. Mother Hubbard clause

Who receives unpaid or suspended royalties when the sale closes? Royalties an operator is holding in suspense, and payments for production before the effective date, are a term of the deal; each purchase agreement says which side receives them. Royalties in suspense
