My grandmother owned a small tract of land, 38 acres to be exact. This is part of a larger family piece of land. All family members have mineral rights as well. The 38 acres need to be split between my mom and two uncles. My grandmother also owned another smaller tract of land with no mineral rights and my mom is more interested in that land. She wants to keep that one and give her portion of the 38 acres to her two brothers but keep the mineral rights. There used to be oil productivity on the property but it’s been a few years since they have all been off the property. It’s non-producing at the moment and not sure if it ever will be.
Is there a way to divide the property into two but divide the mineral rights into three? This is in the South Texas area.

Yes you can do this. You will need a good lawyer and a surveyor. This is not a DIY project.
