## Frequently Asked Questions
**Can I sell my West Virginia mineral rights if I live out of state?**
Yes. West Virginia mineral and royalty interests can be sold entirely remotely — documents are prepared for you, signed before a local notary wherever you live, and returned by mail. You never need to travel to West Virginia to close.

**Who buys Marcellus and Utica mineral rights in West Virginia?**
Direct buyers such as Buckhead Energy purchase Marcellus and Utica interests across West Virginia, producing or non-producing. Antero and Southwestern are among the most active operators; we buy interests held under leases with them and others, and pay title and closing costs.

**I inherited West Virginia minerals under an old lease — can I still sell?**
Yes. Older or flat-rate leases do not prevent a sale — you can sell your interest whatever its lease status, and West Virginia has moved flat-rate leases toward standard royalties over time. We buy leased, unleased, and inherited interests and handle the title work.

**How are West Virginia mineral rights taxed when I sell?**
A sale is generally a taxable event with federal and state consequences that depend on your situation, and inherited interests can be treated differently than interests you purchased. This is not tax advice; confirm the specifics with a CPA or tax attorney.
