Understanding Mineral Rights and the Importance of Trained Mineral Researchers
by Marissa Berends | 2025/09/05

Mineral rights refer to the ownership of the subsurface resources beneath a parcel of land, including valuable commodities like oil, gas, coal, precious metals, and other minerals. These rights can be bought, sold, leased, or inherited separately from surface rights, meaning one party might own the land’s surface while another owns the mineral rights below it.

Tokenized Real Estate
by Security American | 2025/08/26

Tokenized real estate might sound like the future—but without a clean title, those digital tokens are just empty promises.
Blockchain doesn’t replace county land records. Liens, easements, and unpaid taxes don’t magically disappear. And until laws catch up, title insurance doesn’t cover tokenized deals.

At Security American Title, we make sure every transaction—blockchain or not—rests on a clear, accurate title.
