A Common Situation for Ohio Residents

Ohio has deep roots in the energy industry. Many Ohio residents have firsthand experience with oil and gas through the Utica and Marcellus shale developments in eastern Ohio. But beyond local production, many Ohioans also own mineral rights in other states through inheritance or past family investments.

If you're an Ohio resident who inherited mineral rights in Texas, Oklahoma, or another oil-producing state, you're not alone. Managing these assets from Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, or anywhere in Ohio can be frustrating:

Confusing royalty statements you don't understand

Division orders and lease documents that need signatures

Operators you've never heard of sending mail

Small monthly checks that barely seem worth the hassle

Filing tax returns in multiple states

If any of this sounds familiar, you have options. Many Ohio residents choose to sell their out-of-state mineral rights for a lump sum—converting a confusing, distant asset into immediate cash.

Where Are Your Minerals Located?

We buy mineral rights in all major oil and gas producing states. Select your state for specific information:

Why Ohio Residents Sell Their Mineral Rights

Distance & Complexity

Remote management: Hard to manage an asset you've never seen

Unfamiliar operators: Don't know who's drilling or why

Complex paperwork: Division orders, lease amendments, title issues

Financial Simplification

Reduce complexity: Fewer assets to track and manage

Predictable income: Convert uncertain royalties to guaranteed cash

Simpler taxes: Eliminate multi-state tax filings

Estate Planning

Easier division: Cash divides more cleanly than fractional minerals

Avoid complications: Out-of-state assets complicate probate

Protect heirs: Don't burden children with distant assets

Financial Goals

Immediate cash: Fund home improvements, education, medical expenses

Diversify: Move from single asset to diversified investments

Eliminate risk: No more worrying about production declines

Ohio's Shale Experience

Ohio residents often have more familiarity with oil and gas than people in other non-producing states. The Utica and Marcellus shale developments in eastern Ohio have brought the industry to many Ohio communities. This local experience can make it easier to understand what you own in other states—but it doesn't make managing distant assets any simpler.

Whether your out-of-state minerals came from a relative who worked in Texas oil fields, grandparents who owned land in Oklahoma, or family investments made generations ago, converting these distant assets to cash is often the most practical choice for Ohio families.

Questions We Hear from Ohio Residents

Check for royalty checks (even small ones), division orders, lease agreements, or correspondence from oil companies in your mail or among inherited documents. You can also search county records where family members owned property. If you inherited an estate, mineral rights may have been mentioned in the will or probate documents.
Often, yes. Even small royalty interests can have significant sale value because buyers consider future production potential, not just current payments. A $50/month royalty might sell for $10,000-$20,000 or more depending on the location and remaining reserves. We'll provide a free valuation so you know your options.
No. The entire transaction can be completed from Ohio. We send documents to you, you sign them before a local Ohio notary (UPS Store, bank, or mobile notary), and mail them back. We handle everything else, including recording the deed in the appropriate county.
Each heir can sell their individual interest independently—you don't need all heirs to agree. If you want to sell and others don't, you can sell just your share. We frequently work with families where some members sell and others keep their interest.
If you're receiving royalties, you may already be filing returns in that state. When you sell, you typically file a final return in that state for the sale year. After that, no more multi-state filings. You'll also report the sale on your federal and Ohio state returns. Consult a tax professional for your specific situation.
