Sell Your Minerals
Sell your minerals & royalty interests.
A direct buyer
Sell directly to an
active mineral buyer.
Heritage Land & Minerals acquires mineral and royalty interests across our operating states. As an active buyer, we evaluate each property individually and can make a direct offer, allowing you to work directly with the team handling your transaction from start to finish.
Owners choose to sell for many reasons, including estate planning, portfolio diversification, major purchases, or simply converting future royalty income into a lump sum of capital. Whatever your reason, our goal is to make the process straightforward and transparent.
Depending on your goals and the type of property you are selling, you may choose to receive a lump sum payment or, if eligible, defer capital gains taxes through a Section 1031 like-kind exchange into qualifying mineral interests. We recommend working with your qualified intermediary and tax advisor to determine whether a 1031 exchange is appropriate for your situation.
Why owners sell
Reasons owners
choose to sell.
Convert ownership into capital
Selling mineral and royalty interests provides immediate access to capital that can be used for other investments, major purchases, estate planning, or personal financial goals.
Reduce income volatility
Royalty income changes over time as production and commodity prices fluctuate. Some owners prefer the certainty of a lump sum rather than future monthly payments.
Simplify an estate
Consolidating or selling mineral interests can simplify estate planning and make assets easier to transfer to future generations.
Reduce administrative responsibilities
Selling eliminates the need to manage ownership records, division orders, tax reporting, and other administrative matters associated with mineral ownership.
The process
From first conversation
to closing.
- Step 1
Tell us about your property
Share what you own, including the county and state, operator information, and any deeds, division orders, or recent revenue statements you have available.
- Step 2
Property review
Our team evaluates title, production history, development activity, operator information, and current market conditions to determine the value of your interest.
- Step 3
Receive your offer
If your property meets our acquisition criteria, we'll provide a written offer and review the terms with you. There is no obligation to sell.
- Step 4
Close & get paid
Once the purchase agreement is complete, we coordinate the closing process and work with the title company to ensure a smooth transfer of ownership. Funds are disbursed at closing.
What to have ready
Helpful, not required. Send us whatever information you have available. If anything is missing, our team can help fill in the gaps.
- Owner name or lease name
- County and state
- Legal description or API number, if available
- A recent revenue statement, check stub, or division order
- Your decimal interest or net mineral acres, if known
Every interest is different, so timelines and terms vary by interest and title condition. An offer is presented with no obligation to accept.
Two ways forward
Receive the proceeds or
defer the gain.
Sell outright
Receive the proceeds as a lump sum through a straightforward transaction. Once the sale is complete, ownership transfers to the buyer and you have no further ownership responsibilities.
