Estate Planning That Ensures Your Colorado Family's Future Financial Security
Our first order of business during your initial consultation is to help you understand the kind of interest you own — whether it is the real estate that contains the deposits or rights to the deposits that may be considered separate from the land in question. Otherwise your interest could be a lease or royalty agreement.
A land owner will have to sign a new deed that transfers its ownership into the name of a revocable living trust. However, if you own the right to the oil, gas or mineral deposits, specifically, or an interest in a lease or royalty agreement, rights must be assigned to the separate interest, then into the name of your revocable living trust.
We examine factors such as how ownership of the rights came to be in your possession, in which case you may need to record an assignment of your rights to your trust or contact the lease or royalty payments company for information on transfer of ownership rights into the revocable living trust.
