A South Carolina Term Mineral Deed of Undivided Interest is a legal document used to transfer ownership of a specified portion of mineral rights for a designated period of time in South Carolina. This type of deed allows the granter to retain their ownership interest in the minerals while granting the grantee the right to access and exploit those minerals for a defined period. The term "mineral deed of undivided interest" refers to the fact that the granter is transferring a percentage or fraction of their ownership interest without dividing the land itself. This means that multiple individuals or entities can hold undivided interests in the same mineral rights. There are several variations or types of South Carolina Term Mineral Deed of Undivided Interest, including: 1. Limited Term Mineral Deed: This type of mineral deed grants the grantee the right to exploit the minerals for a specific timeframe. Once the term expires, the ownership and rights revert to the granter. 2. Royalty Interest Mineral Deed: In this type of mineral deed, the grantee receives a portion of the royalties or income generated from the production and sale of the minerals, rather than having direct access to the minerals themselves. 3. Non-Participating Interest Mineral Deed: With a non-participating interest mineral deed, the grantee holds a fractional interest in the minerals but does not have the right to participate in the extraction or development process. They simply receive their share of any proceeds from the mineral rights. 4. Working Interest Mineral Deed: This type of mineral deed grants the grantee both the right to access and exploit the minerals, as well as the responsibility to cover a proportionate share of the costs associated with the extraction and development. It is important to note that South Carolina law may impose certain requirements or restrictions on the creation and execution of these term mineral deeds. Consulting with a qualified attorney or legal professional is recommended to ensure compliance with all applicable regulations and to protect the interests of both the granter and grantee.
