Please contact ownerinquiry@formenteraops.com about the transfer of interest.
The transfer process takes approximately 90 days to complete upon submission of all required documents.
To transfer the estate, we will need the following information:
- If the owner died with a will (testate) and the estate has been probated, please provide RECORDED COPIES (that are recorded in the county/counties in which the deceased owned property) of the following:
- Death Certificate
- Last Will and Testament
- Order Admitting Will to Probate
- Letters Testamentary
- Final Decree of Distribution
- If the owner died without a will (intestate) or you will not be probating the estate, please provide RECORDED COPIES (that are recorded in the county/counties in which the deceased owned property) of the following:

- Proof of Death & Heirship (prepared by a disinterested party)
We will also need completed W-9 Forms from any beneficiaries/heirs.
Please contact ownerinquiry@formenteraops.com to notify us immediately.
We will temporarily suspend your owner account so that no further payments are disbursed. Our new owner portal will allow you to update your bank information as soon as you have a new account.
Please understand that we are often inundated with calls, emails, and letters. Repeated attempts to contact us will not expedite your case and will likely extend the wait time for every owner needing assistance.
Please contact ownerinquiry@formenteraops.com with "Mineral Interest" as the subject line and include the name on the account, Owner Number/Payee ID, and brief description of your interest that you would like to sell.
