Commonly Asked Questions about Mineral Rights Transfer Forms

The Certificate of Title from Alberta Land Titles will specify which minerals are held by the owner, if any. Gold and silver as well as surveyed water bodies and streams are always reserved to the Crown. Freehold mineral leases are negotiated bilaterally between the owner and the company.
Mineral rights convey means to change the ownership of your mineral rights and transfer it to someone else. You can convey or transfer mineral rights using a will, a deed, or a lease.
The most common way is through a will or estate plan. When the mineral rights owner dies, their heirs will become the new owners. Another way to transfer mineral rights is through a lease. If the mineral rights are leased to a third party, the new owner will need approval from the current lessee to claim them.
Mineral rights usually transferred the same way a real estate (a farm or house) is transferred by a deed from the estate or court order.
When someone wants to transfer mineral rights, they often do so through a mineral deed or a conveyance. A mineral deed is a legal document that transfers ownership of minerals from the seller to the buyer. It functions much like a property deed that transfers ownership of land.
Mineral Deed Transfer: After establishing heirship, heirs must prepare and file a mineral deed transfer with the county clerk where the minerals are located, legally documenting the rights transfer from the deceased to the heirs.
Mineral rights are usually held by a provincial government (the Crown), but a small portion, called freehold mineral rights, may be held by others. Surface rights determine who owns the land. Surface rights holders may be farmers or other property owners, municipalities, or provinces (known as Crown land).
When mineral rights are inherited, the value basis is not what the previous owner bought the land for- it is the value at the time of the inheritance. The value of the inherited mineral rights should be reassessed at the time of inheritance to reflect current market value.
