Mineral rights on inherited land.
I have a client that sold mineral rights from inherited land. Will her basis be the value of the mineral rights at the time of inheritance?

That kind of depends. Did she inherit the rights recently or 30 years ago?
It was about 5 years ago. I think she actually inherited the land the mineral rights are on. The rights themselves were worth more 5 years ago than now. It's been tied up in court.
Sorry, I read your original post incorrectly. Yeah, they would be valued based on the value when they were inherited.
