Sell Mineral Rights in New Mexico
Trace the patent, name the reservation, place the tract inside the unit, and verify the paid decimal before comparing a sale.
Open a Title ReviewPatent. Reservation. Tract. Decimal.
New Mexico title work begins beneath the surface label. A single section may combine fee minerals, federal minerals, and state trust acreage, each governed by a different record trail. The title abstract desk identifies the mineral estate, follows recorded reservations and conveyances, places the legal description inside the active unit, and tests the paid decimal before a sale range is compared.
A New Mexico Mineral Sale Starts With the Chain of Title
The useful file links the patent or source deed, every mineral reservation, later conveyances, leases, pooling or communitization records, division orders, royalty statements, and the exact rights proposed for sale.

Three Record Systems. One Tract.
Fee minerals follow county title. Federal minerals add BLM leasing and communitization records. State trust minerals follow the New Mexico State Land Office. The file must name the correct system before it names a price.
Document the Interest Before the Deadline
A deed, lease, division order, royalty statement, probate record, trust certificate, or written offer can open the review.
