Tax Planning & Gifting of Mineral & Royalty Interests in Colorado
The varying degrees of ownership make gifting of oil and gas interests
an extremely complex matter that involves very specific considerations.
It is imperative that you consult with an attorney from our firm who is
knowledgeable in the area of
estate tax planning and
oil and gas law. We can help you through the process step by step, including a clarification
of exactly what kind of interest you own. Types of ownership include:
- The actual real estate that contains the oil gas or mineral deposits
- The separate rights to the oil, gas or minerals on the land
- Interest in a lease or royalty agreement
- Some combination of the above
Once that is determined, we can move forward with your desire to gift your
interests to individuals or charities of your choice. In addition to tax
planning issues, we believe that you will also be pleased with the other
advantages of adding an oil and gas perspective to estate planning, such
as liability protection, the lifetime management of your assets, succession
planning and income taxation and valuation of your mineral rights.
