Description

This form is a mineral owner's subordination of rights to make use of surface estate. Alabama Mineral Owner's Subordination (of Rights to Make Use of Surface Estate) is a legal agreement that allows the mineral owner to temporarily relinquish their rights to use the surface estate for mineral exploration and extraction purposes. This subordination is typically obtained by the mineral owner to grant access to third-party companies or individuals interested in mining or drilling on the property. In Alabama, the types of subordination agreements in relation to the mineral owner's rights to make use of the surface estate can vary depending on the specific terms negotiated between the parties involved. Some common types of subordination agreements include: 1. Temporary Surface Access Subordination: This type of subordination agreement allows a third party to gain access to the surface estate for a limited period. It grants the right to construct roads, drill wells, install equipment, and perform other necessary activities related to mineral exploration or extraction. 2. Mineral Lease Subordination: This agreement permits the mineral leaseholder to postpone their rights to access the surface estate until a later date when the surface owner's activities, such as farming or construction, are completed. This ensures that the mineral owner can exercise their rights while minimizing disruptions or conflicts. 3. Surface Rights Reservation Subordination: This subordination agreement gives the surface owner the ability to delay the mineral owner's access to the surface estate until certain conditions are met. For example, the surface owner may request a delay until after a specific agricultural season or until a construction project is completed. 4. Surface Damage Compensation Subordination: This type of subordination agreement requires the third-party company or individual to compensate the surface owner for any damages caused during mineral exploration or extraction activities. This compensation may include repairing roads, mitigating environmental impacts, or providing monetary compensation for lost crops or land value. 5. No Surface Use Subordination: In some cases, the mineral owner may choose to subdivide their rights entirely, ensuring that they have no access to or use of the surface estate. This may be done to avoid any conflicts or disruptions with the surface owner's current or planned activities. It's essential for both the mineral owner and the surface owner to clearly define the terms and conditions within the subordination agreement, including the duration of the subordination, compensation arrangements, and any use restrictions. This helps protect the interests and rights of both parties involved.
