Why Trusts Liquidate Mineral Rights

(Usually because the trustee has passed away)

Invariably, there comes a time when trusts must liquidate the assets and distribute the proceeds to the beneficiaries. This usually happens when the trustee passes away, but can also happen for estate (and eldercare) planning reasons, or because the mineral rights need to be sold while they still hold value.

These are some of the reasons mineral rights are liquidated from trusts:
  • The Trustee passed away so the assets must be sold and the proceeds distributed to the beneficiaries
  • Mineral rights are too small to logically be distributed among beneficiaries
  • Estate planning and elder care purposes
  • Mineral rights are not producing much and it's better to sell before they stop producing
  • The trust assets do not produce enough income to support the trust management fees

Two Ways for Non-Profits to Liquidate Mineral Rights

Donating or selling mineral rights can help your non-profit organization focus on its core mission.

Donate Mineral Rights

Not all mineral rights have significant value. The value of mineral rights depends on 7 factors, and it can be difficult to sell low-value minerals. Rather than spending weeks or months trying to get an minimal offer, you can donate these minerals. We accept donations of hard-to-sell mineral rights, including small (or even tiny) minerals, non-producing minerals, minimally producing minerals, mineral rights in unproductive areas, minerals with title issues, and more.

Mineral Sale Timeframe

How long does it take to donate or sell mineral rights?

The amount of time it takes to sell or donate mineral rights depends on who you sell or donate them to. Sometimes larger organizations have a long process, and it can take months to sell (or donate) your mineral rights (especially if there are title issues that must be resolved first). However, Blue Mesa Minerals can usually close on minerals in one to two weeks.

What Documentation is Needed?

In order to sell mineral rights owned by a trust, you need documentation about the minerals and the trust agreement. The most helpful documentation includes royalty statements, property deeds, probate documents, oil and gas leases, and tax bills.

Any of the following documents can help us figure out what you own and how to properly draft the deed:
  • Royalty Statement
  • Mineral Deeds
  • Oil & Gas Leases
  • Probate Documents
  • Ad Valorem Tax Bills
  • Trust Agreement (if owned by a trust)
Don't have documentation? Don't worry - we can get the necessary documents (or we can work around it).
