This form addresses the situation in which mineral owners, as owners of the dominant estate, agree to relinquish their rights to make use of the surface of specific lands in which they own mineral interests. North Dakota Subordination by Mineral Owners of Rights to Make Use of the Surface Estate — Transfer refers to a legal arrangement wherein the owners of mineral rights in North Dakota voluntarily transfer their rights to make use of the surface estate to another party. This subordination allows the designated party to conduct activities such as drilling, exploration, and extraction of minerals without obtaining separate permission from the surface estate owner. By giving up their rights to utilize the surface estate, mineral owners enable efficient and uninterrupted mineral extraction operations. This arrangement often benefits both parties involved, as it streamlines the process of resource development while ensuring adequate compensation for the surface estate owner. In North Dakota, there are different types of Subordination by Mineral Owners of Rights to Make Use of the Surface Estate — Transfer, including: 1. Temporary Subordination: This type of subordination grants the designated party temporary rights to the surface estate for a specified period. It is typically used when short-term mineral extraction activities are planned. 2. Partial Subordination: With partial subordination, the mineral owner transfers only a portion of their rights to the surface estate, ensuring that some control remains in their hands. This is often seen in cases where the surface estate owner wishes to maintain certain restrictions or have a say in the operation. 3. Exclusive Subordination: Exclusive subordination involves a complete transfer of the mineral owner's rights to the surface estate. It grants the designated party exclusive control over the surface estate for mineral extraction purposes, overriding the surface estate owner's authority during the specified period. 4. Revocable Subordination: In cases where the mineral owner wishes to retain the ability to revoke or terminate the subordination agreement, a revocable subordination is used. This allows them to reclaim their rights to make use of the surface estate if necessary. 5. Perpetual Subordination: Perpetual subordination entails a permanent transfer of the rights to make use of the surface estate. This type of subordination is less common and requires careful consideration, as it permanently limits the surface estate owner's control.
