A Common Situation for Pennsylvania Residents

Pennsylvania has a unique connection to America's oil industry. The world's first commercial oil well was drilled in Titusville, Pennsylvania in 1859, launching an industry that would transform the world. Many Pennsylvania families have deep roots in oil and gas, with relatives who followed the industry to Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and other producing states over the generations.

If you're a Pennsylvania resident who inherited mineral rights in another state, you understand mineral ownership better than most. But managing these assets from Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, or elsewhere in the Keystone State can still be frustrating:

Confusing royalty statements with unfamiliar operator names

Division orders and lease documents requiring signatures

Different state laws than the Marcellus Shale rules you may know

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 Pennsylvania residents choose to sell their out-of-state mineral rights for a lump sum—converting a distant, complex 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:

Pennsylvania's Oil Industry Legacy

Pennsylvania holds a special place in oil and gas history. When Edwin Drake drilled the first commercial oil well in Titusville in 1859, it launched an industry that would change the world. Today, Pennsylvania residents understand mineral rights better than most Americans thanks to the Marcellus Shale boom that brought the industry home.

Many Pennsylvania families have connections to the oil industry through relatives who worked in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and other states over the past century. When those family members pass away, their mineral rights often come to Pennsylvania heirs who understand the value but may not want the complexity of managing distant assets.

Questions We Hear from Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania. We send documents to you, you sign them before a local Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania state returns. Consult a tax professional for your specific situation.
