Has anyone sold mineral rights and received payments with interest over time, say 5 years as an example, which could significantly reduce the capital gains tax?

Yes, sold and I receive payout over a 4-year period. If a payment is missed, I get all of the minerals assigned back into my name and keep all prior payments.

Did you have to pay capital gains on the entire sale up front?

How did you guarantee the payment? Did you retain a lien on the property you sold?
