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.
