WHY SELL
We find that there are many reasons landowners sell their minerals/royalties. We also find that no two landowners are ever alike. Ultimately, the benefit to any landowner is receiving an up-front lump-sum payment in cash for minerals or royalties that will take 10 – 40 years to pay out. Whether it is fear of rising capital gains taxes or the desire to diversify into safer assets like gold, selling your minerals or royalties can be a prudent decision.
Some of the most common reasons why our clients have chosen to sell their mineral interest include:
Uncertainty About Future Production and Decline Rates
Mineral owners may be uncertain about the future production and decline rates of their mineral interests. This uncertainty can lead to financial instability and make it difficult to plan for the future. By selling their mineral interest, owners can alleviate this uncertainty and potentially realize a lump-sum payment.
Tax Concerns
(Capital Gains)
Mineral owners may be concerned about capital gains taxes associated with their mineral interest. By selling their mineral interest, owners can potentially reduce their tax liability and simplify their tax situation.
Accounting
Elimination
Mineral owners may be tired of managing the accounting and record-keeping associated with their mineral interest. Selling the mineral interest can eliminate the need for ongoing accounting and management, allowing owners to focus on other areas.
Estate Liquidation
When a mineral owner passes away, their heirs may not have the expertise or interest in managing the mineral interest. Selling the mineral interest can provide a simple way to liquidate the asset and distribute the proceeds to the heirs.
Cash Flow Needs
Mineral owners may have an immediate need for cash and may not have the luxury of waiting for future royalty payments. Selling their mineral interest can provide a quick infusion of cash to help meet their financial needs.
Diversification
Mineral owners may choose to sell their mineral interest as a way to diversify their investments. By selling their mineral interest, owners can take the proceeds and invest in other areas that may provide a more diversified portfolio.
