Third, get at least one competing written offer so you have something to measure the first one against.

Inherited minerals in Huntingdon County follow Pennsylvania's probate and title rules:
If you have inherited mineral rights in Pennsylvania, the first task is establishing clear title in your name. Minerals that passed under a will move through Pennsylvania probate, filed with the county Register of Wills — and when the person who died lived in another state, an ancillary probate in Pennsylvania is usually required to transfer the Pennsylvania minerals specifically. Unlike most oil and gas states, Pennsylvania does not recognize a transfer-on-death or beneficiary deed for real property, so inherited minerals cannot skip probate that way; probate avoidance instead requires a revocable living trust, a life-estate deed, or joint tenancy with right of survivorship set up before death. Transferring inherited mineral rights and selling mineral rights from an estate walk through the steps.
Inherited minerals receive a stepped-up cost basis — their fair market value on the date of the previous owner's death, not what that owner originally paid — so if you sell, capital gains are measured against the stepped-up value and a sale shortly after inheriting often carries little or no taxable gain. Pennsylvania is unusual in another way: it levies a state inheritance tax that reaches even non-probate transfers, at rates set by relationship — 0% to a surviving spouse, 4.5% to children and other lineal heirs, 12% to siblings, and 15% to other heirs — so what an heir nets from a Pennsylvania mineral interest depends partly on their relationship to the deceased. The stepped-up basis on inherited minerals explains the federal side, and a tax professional can confirm your situation.
Inherited Pennsylvania minerals are frequently small, fractional, undivided interests, because a single tract is often split among several heirs across generations, making decimals tiny and title complex. Pennsylvania's Dormant Oil and Gas Act does not transfer a missing owner's interest to anyone — a court can appoint a trustee to lease unknown or unlocatable owners' interests and hold the proceeds in trust — so an inherited Pennsylvania interest is not lost to time, but unclaimed heirs can find their minerals leased and their royalties held until they come forward. The complete guide to inherited mineral rights covers what to gather and check.
