What are the advantages of selling my royalties and/or oil and gas interests?

• Instead of counting on a small monthly or quarterly royalty, selling all or a portion your mineral interests can provide you with an upfront large cash payment to use to address immediate needs.

• Cash money is a sure thing. There is no guarantee that any one tract of land will have a well drilled on it.

• Perhaps you missed out on a big lease bonus because of a low producing well. Selling all or a portion of your mineral interests allows you to enjoy a big payday.

• Take advantage of a low long-term capital gains tax rate of 15%.

• Reinvesting the proceeds into safer investments.

• Paying off debt or provide for your children's education
