By DAVID SYKES ■ REALTOR MINERAL RIGHTS w KA lu s tfo u s CdrotHC fin is h When properties are sold, the rights to the minerals in the soil below are many times held by the previous owner either for the current value or possible future benefit. Because mineral rights are usually held as separate from the right to build or occupy a piece o f real property, they are often overlooked, and unless reserved and made part o f the purchase agreement, the rights do not automatically go to the buyer upon sale. Because oil and mineral exploration is usually done far below the surface o f the earth, and the extensive use o f slant drilling today, oil and minerals can be taken from hundreds o f feet below the surface without the dwellings on the ground b ein g disturbed or even aware of what is going on. The grant deed at the time of sale will usually note if the mineral rights are included. It is not u n com m on for sellers thirty or forty years earlier to s till be in possession o f the rights and any royalties from oil and minerals.
