Deciding whether to sell your mineral rights or hold onto them can be difficult. Should you pass them on to your children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren? Will fractionalization reduce the value of the mineral rights? Are there tax advantages? What will my retirement and estate look like if I decide to sell now? It's important to remember that it's your decision and each person has to make the choice based on their situation and what will benefit their family. Best advice: do your research and get all the information you can before you decide.
