A Common Situation for Tennessee Residents

Throughout American history, families have moved across the country seeking opportunity. Many Tennessee families have roots in oil-producing states like Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana, and inherited mineral rights that have passed through generations. From Nashville to Memphis, from Knoxville to Chattanooga, Tennessee residents across the state own mineral rights they may have never seen.

If you're a Tennessee resident who inherited mineral rights in another state, you're not alone. Managing these assets from the Volunteer State 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 Tennessee 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:

Tennessee's Connection to Oil Country

Tennessee has deep cultural and family ties to the oil-producing regions of the South and Southwest. Many families who now call Nashville, Memphis, or Knoxville home have roots in Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana. Whether your ancestors worked the oil fields of West Texas, farmed in Oklahoma before the oil boom, or lived along the Gulf Coast, mineral rights often stayed in the family even as people moved to Tennessee for music, manufacturing, and other opportunities.

From the country music heritage of Nashville to the blues traditions of Memphis, Tennessee families carry their history with them. Sometimes that history includes mineral rights that are now generating royalty checks from states your family left generations ago.

Questions We Hear from Tennessee 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 Tennessee. We send documents to you, you sign them before a local Tennessee 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.
Tennessee does not have a state income tax on wages or investment income, which may benefit you compared to residents of other states. You'll still pay federal capital gains tax on the sale, and the state where the minerals are located may also tax the gain. Consult a tax professional for your specific situation.
