We own a share of minerals in Weld Co., Colorado (location below). We share the rights with extended family all of whom have already sold, or who are about to sell. We have received an offer that would be a good amount of money for our family, but we aren’t sure if it is wise to sell. Our concerns are that we might get passed over if we don’t sell now. Current offer is for 7000 per acre (with some variation on different portions of acreage). We are 60yo and will need this money for retirement, but don’t need it quite yet. Would there be good reasons to lease and not sell?
