Description

This form provides for a conveyance of a royalty interest, for a term, by a mineral owner grantor. A West Virginia Term Nonparticipating Royalty Deed from a Mineral Owner, also known as a nonparticipating royalty interest (NPR) deed, is a legal document that transfers the rights to a specific portion of the royalties generated from the production of minerals in the state of West Virginia. The West Virginia Term Nonparticipating Royalty Deed allows the mineral owner to retain ownership of the minerals but grants another party, typically a third-party investor or entity, the right to receive a specified percentage or portion of the royalties generated from the mineral production for a defined period of time. This type of deed is commonly used when the mineral owner does not wish to actively participate in the exploration, development, and production of the minerals but still wants to retain an income stream from the royalties. The term "nonparticipating" refers to the fact that the holder of the NPR does not have the right to explore, develop, or operate the mineral property. Instead, they solely receive a portion of the royalties generated by the activities of the working interest owner, who possesses the right to extract the minerals from the property. There are several types of West Virginia Term Nonparticipating Royalty Deeds from a Mineral Owner, including: 1. Fixed-Term NPR Deed: This type of deed establishes a specific duration or defined term during which the NPR holder is entitled to receive a portion of the royalties. Once the term expires, the rights transfer back to the mineral owner. 2. Advanced NPR Deed: In this case, the NPR holder receives an upfront lump sum payment from the mineral owner in exchange for a percentage of the royalties generated during a defined term. The upfront payment is often calculated based on the expected future royalties. 3. Fractional NPR Deed: This deed grants the NPR holder a fractional interest in the royalties generated from the mineral production. For example, they may receive 1/8th or 1/16th of the total royalties. 4. Geographic NPR Deed: This type of deed applies to a specific geographic area, such as a county or individual tract of land. It allows the NPR holder to receive a portion of the royalties only from the designated area. It is important to note that the specifics of a West Virginia Term Nonparticipating Royalty Deed may vary depending on the agreement between the mineral owner and the NPR holder. Therefore, it is crucial to seek legal advice and carefully review the terms and conditions outlined in the deed before entering into such an agreement.
