  • Very Useful

    I inherited a small oil royalty interest years ago and was trying to decide whether to try and sell the interest or convey it to one or more of my children. These podcasts were very helpful and I strongly recommend them for someone in my situation.

  • Loved the information in this episode. I was indecisive to lease or sell and didn't even know you could keep and use for emergency funds.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

MRP 346: Listener Questions August 2026
Q: Can birthright mineral rights and land rights be passed to an adopted child and continue succession?
Rules depend on the state; generally adopted children have inheritance rights similar to biological children, but wills or trusts with specific language can alter that. If a will excludes adopted children or uses lineage language, case law varies, so have documents reviewed by an attorney to understand enforceability in your state.
MRP 346: Listener Questions August 2026
Q: Should I pursue working interest or royalty ownership in a Colorado oil project, and what should I consider when deciding?
Evaluate financial risk, liability, and tax implications. A royalty-focused approach typically offers upfront bonuses and ongoing, cost-free royalties with less operating risk, while a working interest involves higher liability and potential for future expenses. Consider education and consult your CPA and oil and gas attorney.
MRP 346: Listener Questions August 2026
Q: Why might production reported to the state differ from what's shown on my royalty checks in terms of disposition vs production volumes?
Disposition represents where the oil went after sale (tank storage, trucking, pipeline), while production is what was produced. Timing differences when regulators report data vs. when checks are issued can cause variances; over time, the volumes should reconcile, but discrepancies can occur if some oil remains in tanks or is delayed in reporting.
MRP 346: Listener Questions August 2026
Q: What should I do to establish a paperwork trail when transferring mineral rights into an LLC and where should I search for records?
Begin with a county records search where the minerals are located, and consider an online search if available. Engage an oil and gas attorney to guide the transfer, and review title histories for any overlooked deeds. Also look at related resources and courses mentioned by the hosts for step-by-step instructions.
MRP 340: Listener Questions July 2026
Q: Kansas non-producing minerals and property taxes. Am I risking losing rights by not paying taxes?
Yes, with high risk of losing rights via tax lien or treasurer's deed; taxes are usually small but must be kept current or risk losing the property; discusses Colorado as a comparison and suggests selling if ongoing maintenance isn't desired.
