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. Puerto Rico Subordination by Lessee of Right to Use All or Part of Surface Estate refers to an agreement where a lessee voluntarily relinquishes their right to use a specific portion or the entirety of a surface estate in Puerto Rico. This arrangement typically occurs in real estate transactions or land lease agreements where the lessee seeks to prioritize or subordinate their rights to the surface estate in favor of other stakeholders. The purpose of a subordination agreement is to establish a hierarchy of rights and obligations regarding the use of land or property. By entering into this contract, the lessee agrees to give up their priority or superior right to use the land, allowing other parties to exercise their interests in the surface estate first. In such cases, the lessee's rights become subordinate to those of the party to whom they have subordinated their rights. There are two main types of Puerto Rico Subordination by Lessee of Right to Use All or Part of Surface Estate: 1. Partial Subordination: In this type of subordination, the lessee agrees to relinquish only a specific portion or area of the surface estate for the benefit of another party. The agreement may define the boundaries and limitations of the subordinated area, ensuring that the specified section can be utilized by the party to whom the rights have been subordinated. 2. Total Subordination: Total subordination occurs when the lessee voluntarily surrenders their right to use the entire surface estate. By entering into this agreement, the lessee effectively allows another party to have full control and priority over the use of the land for a specified period or under specific terms and conditions. These subordination agreements are commonly used when there is a need for development or construction on the surface estate. For instance, if a lessee occupies a parcel of land for residential purposes, but the owner intends to build a commercial complex on the same property, the lessee may opt for a subordination agreement to allow the owner's development plans to take precedence. In conclusion, Puerto Rico Subordination by Lessee of Right to Use All or Part of Surface Estate refers to an arrangement wherein a lessee voluntarily gives up their superior right to use a specific portion or the entire surface estate. Partial and total subordination are the two main types of agreements, allowing other parties to exercise their interests in the land.
