A Common Situation for Washington Residents

The Pacific Northwest has become a major destination for tech professionals and retirees from across the country, including many from Texas, Oklahoma, and other oil-producing states. Whether you relocated to Seattle for a job at Microsoft, Amazon, or Boeing, or inherited minerals from family who lived in oil country, you may find yourself managing assets thousands of miles away.

If you're a Washington resident who owns mineral rights in another state, you're not alone. Managing these assets from the Pacific Northwest 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 states where you've never lived

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

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

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

Diversify: Move from single asset to diversified investments

Eliminate risk: No more worrying about production declines

The Pacific Northwest Connection

Washington State's booming tech industry has attracted professionals from across the country. Many Microsoft, Amazon, and Boeing employees relocated from Texas, Oklahoma, and other oil states, sometimes bringing mineral ownership with them or inheriting minerals from family back home.

Like Washington, Texas has no state income tax, so financially savvy Washington residents understand the value of strategic asset management. Converting distant mineral rights to cash eliminates the hassle of managing assets in states you may never visit while providing capital for opportunities closer to home.

Whether you moved to Seattle for tech opportunities, retired to the Puget Sound, or simply inherited minerals from family who lived elsewhere, we can help you convert those distant assets to cash.

Questions We Hear from Washington 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 Washington. We send documents to you, you sign them before a local Washington 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 may need to file a final return in that state for the sale year. After that, no more multi-state filings. Washington has no state income tax, so you'll only need to report the sale on your federal return. Consult a tax professional for your specific situation.
