Description

If the minerals have been severed from the surface of lands, with the mineral estate, in many states, being the dominate estate, the mineral owner has the right to make use of as much of the surface as is reasonably necessary to develop those minerals. If the minerals have been leased, and the surface owner desires the lessee not to enter on specific lands, the surface owner may obtain a subordination from the mineral lessee to that effect. This form addresses that situation. Arkansas Subordination by Lessee of Right to Use All or Part of Surface Estate is a legal arrangement where a lessee agrees to subordinate their rights to use the surface estate of a property to another party. This type of subordination is commonly seen in situations where the lessee leases only the mineral rights of a property while the surface estate is owned by a different entity. In this arrangement, the lessee acknowledges that the owner of the surface estate has superior rights to use and access the land. By subordinating their right to use the surface estate, the lessee agrees to give priority to the surface owner's rights, ensuring that they can continue using the land for agricultural, residential, or any other purposes. The lessee's rights are still protected under the original lease agreement, but they take a secondary position to ensure the surface owner's interests are upheld. There are two main types of subordination commonly observed in Arkansas: 1. Subordination by Lessee of Right to Use All of Surface Estate: In this case, the lessee subordinates their right to use the entire surface estate to the surface owner. The lessee acknowledges that their mineral rights are secondary to the surface owner's rights and will not interfere with the surface owner's use and enjoyment of the property. 2. Subordination by Lessee of Right to Use Part of Surface Estate: This type of subordination occurs when the lessee subordinates their rights to a specific portion or part of the surface estate. The lessee agrees to limit their activities or operations to a designated area while allowing the surface owner the freedom to utilize the remaining land without interference. Both types of subordination are usually documented through legally binding agreements, such as subordination clauses in lease contracts. These clauses ensure that both parties are fully aware of their rights and obligations and provide a framework to protect the interests of both the lessee and the surface owner. In summary, Arkansas Subordination by Lessee of Right to Use All or Part of Surface Estate is an important legal arrangement that safeguards the rights of both the lessee and the surface owner. By subordinating their rights, the lessee ensures that the surface owner can continue using and enjoying the land while maintaining their mineral extraction activities. This creates a mutually beneficial relationship and promotes harmony between parties involved in the use of surface and mineral rights.
