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. Oklahoma Subordination by Lessee of Right to Use All or Part of Surface Estate refers to a legal arrangement where a lessee of a surface estate agrees to subordinate their right to use all or a portion of the surface estate to another party. This type of subordination is commonly seen in energy and mineral leases, where the lessee needs access to the land for exploration, drilling, or extracting resources. The purpose of subordinating the lessee's right to the surface estate is to allow other parties, such as a lender or another lessee, to have a superior claim on the property. This could be advantageous for the lessee if they need to secure financing for their operations or if they want to lease a specific portion of the surface estate to another party. By subordinating their rights, the lessee agrees to give priority to the interests of the other party. There are different types of Oklahoma Subordination by Lessee of Right to Use All or Part of Surface Estate that may vary based on the terms and conditions agreed upon by the parties involved. Some common types of subordination include: 1. Subordination of Surface Estate Rights to a Lender: In this type of subordination, the lessee agrees to subordinate their right to use the surface estate to a lender who provides financing for their operations. By doing so, the lender obtains a first or superior claim on the property, which gives them the right to foreclose on the land if the lessee defaults on their loan. 2. Subordination of Surface Estate Rights to a Joint Venture Partner: In certain cases, lessees may form joint ventures with other entities to explore or develop a particular property. In such instances, the lessee may subordinate their right to the surface estate to the joint venture partner. This allows the partner to have priority or a larger share in the use of the land, enabling them to determine how the property is used during the joint venture's operations. 3. Subordination of Surface Estate Rights to Another Lessee: In some situations, a lessee may hold a lease on a large surface estate but only requires a portion of the land for their operations. If another lessee identifies a need for the unused portion, they can negotiate a subordination agreement. This allows the second lessee to have priority in using the unused portion while the initial lessee retains their rights to the remaining area. In conclusion, Oklahoma Subordination by Lessee of Right to Use All or Part of Surface Estate involves the lessee agreeing to subordinate their rights to another party, thereby granting them superior claim or priority over the land. Various types of subordination exist, such as subordination to a lender, joint venture partner, or another lessee, each with its own specific terms and conditions.
