I live in Virginia and would like to gift my mineral rights to my son and daughter now in order to avoid the complexities involved in estate settlement after my death. Wells are currently operated by Apache. I would appreciate any guidance.

As is always the case when dealing with legal matters that matter, you should find a lawyer that specializes in estate planning and knows New Mexico mineral laws. You can probably find some under the directories tab at the top. Good luck.
