A Massachusetts Mineral Deed with Granter Reserving Nonparticipating Royalty Interest is a legal document that transfers ownership of mineral rights from the granter (the current owner) to the grantee (the new owner) in Massachusetts, while the granter retains a nonparticipating royalty interest. A mineral deed is a specific type of deed used to transfer ownership of mineral rights, which include the rights to extract and profit from valuable minerals found beneath the surface of the land. In Massachusetts, mineral rights can include valuable resources such as oil, gas, coal, gold, and other minerals. The key feature of a Massachusetts Mineral Deed with Granter Reserving Nonparticipating Royalty Interest is that the granter retains a nonparticipating royalty interest. This means that while the grantee becomes the new owner of the mineral rights and has the right to extract and profit from the minerals, the granter retains the right to receive a royalty payment or percentage of the profits without actively participating in the extraction process. This type of arrangement allows the granter to continue benefiting from the mineral rights while transferring ownership to the grantee. The granter effectively serves as a passive royalty recipient, receiving periodic royalty payments based on the production or sale of the extracted minerals.
