Hello all, it has been a long time since I've been on here and I hope you all are doing well.

I'm looking to sell my mining claim, its a 20 acre placer claim I've held for some time. All the paperwork is current though I still need to file my Affidavit of assessment before the deadline this year.

I have never sold a claim and want to be sure to do it correctly, I can't seem to find much info on this. I'm pretty sure I need to file a quit claim deed, but unsure of what else the process entails.

I imagine I also need to file my Affidavit of assessment before this transaction occurs.

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

Is that what you do for a living? I notice you have said this in the past.
 

I've searched the forum and found this question has been asked before with little or no response, so I would like to share the what I have learned as to be the correct process.

1 - Fill out a quit claim deed, It must be notarized.

2 - File the quit claim deed with the blm office

3 - Fill out a preliminary change of ownership report

4 - file the quit claim deed and preliminary change of ownership for with the county that the claim is in

That is all, the process is now complete.
