This type of deed enables the granter to retain a percentage of the royalties from any future mineral extraction on the property. The Virginia Mineral Deed with Granter Reserving Nonparticipating Royalty Interest is commonly used in situations where the granter wishes to retain a passive income stream from the mineral rights without actively participating in the leasing or development process. By reserving a nonparticipating royalty interest, the granter can benefit from the sales proceeds or royalties derived from the minerals extracted. When drafting the Virginia Mineral Deed with Granter Reserving Nonparticipating Royalty Interest, several crucial elements need to be included.

In Virginia, there are generally two types of Mineral Deeds with Granter Reserving Nonparticipating Royalty Interest: undivided fractional interest and unitized interest. Undivided Fractional Interest: This type of mineral deed grants a specific percentage of the mineral rights to the grantee while the granter retains a nonparticipating royalty interest. For example, the granter may transfer 75% of the mineral rights to the grantee while reserving a 25% nonparticipating royalty interest. Unitized Interest: In this scenario, the granter retains a nonparticipating royalty interest in conjunction with a specific-sized production unit. This means that the granter's royalty interest will only be applicable to the minerals extracted from the designated unit, typically determined by a well bore spacing agreement or pooled unit. It's important to note that the specific terminology and requirements may vary depending on the county in Virginia where the property is located. It's always advisable to consult with an experienced attorney or title company familiar with Virginia mineral rights laws to ensure the proper drafting and execution of the deed.
