Description

This form is a mineral owner's subordination of rights to make use of surface estate. South Dakota Mineral Owner's Subordination (of Rights to Make Use of Surface Estate) is a legal arrangement that allows mineral owners in South Dakota to surrender or subordinate their rights to make use of the surface estate to another party. This agreement grants the surface owner the authority to use the land for various purposes while protecting the mineral rights of the subordinating party. In South Dakota, there are two primary types of Mineral Owner's Subordination that can be used: 1. Temporary Subordination: This type of subordination involves a temporary surrender of surface rights by the mineral owner. It allows the surface owner to engage in activities such as construction, agriculture, or other land use purposes while preserving the mineral rights for future extraction. Temporary subordination typically specifies a specific timeframe during which the surface owner may exercise their rights. 2. Permanent Subordination: In some cases, mineral owners in South Dakota may decide to permanently subordinate their rights to use the surface estate. This means that the surface owner gains complete control over the land and is no longer restricted by the mineral rights. Permanent subordination is usually pursued when the mineral owner has no intention of utilizing their mineral rights or when there is a conflict of interest between the two parties. In both types of subordination, it is crucial to establish clear terms and conditions to protect the rights of both the surface owner and the mineral owner. Such agreements typically outline the specific scope of surface activities permissible, compensation arrangements, environmental protections, and termination clauses. South Dakota Mineral Owner's Subordination (of Rights to Make Use of Surface Estate) plays a vital role in managing the coexistence of surface and subsurface interests. By allowing the surface owner to utilize the land without compromising the mineral rights, it fosters effective land use planning, economic development, and resource extraction, while ensuring the protection of valuable mineral deposits for future exploitation.
