Selling mineral rights to my spouse

Hello there, does anyone know the process on how to sell half of my mineral rights to my partner/spouse?

It depends on several factors. Which state are the mineral rights located in? Is it your intent to each own 50% as separate property or do you want to own the interest as community property?

Thanks for your response. They are in Leon Co Texas. Split 50/50.

How do you own them? There could be limitations on your ability to sell them.

It could be as simple as a one page quit claim deed filed with the county, or it could be already owned 50/50 depending on how they are owned and managed.

They were left to me by my father. My siblings sold there’s 2 years ago.

You just need a deed prepared selling him half of your interest. Should be easy process.

It’s not as easy as just selling half of your interest in a deed.

If its a spouse, you will need to add language to the document that you’re conveying the mineral interest to Grantee as their separate property.
