it was great for my wife to be able to take a deprecation but the question is when a bother sells a farm to his sister does a title transferred have mineral rights included
It depends upon how the deed is worded. If no mention of retaining the mineral rights is included in the deed, then they were probably transferred (if the person transferring owned them.) If the deed specifically retained the mineral rights, then only the surface was transferred. May need a lawyer to look at the language.
i truly thank you for replying this is a long story about an x wife who committed a hate crime against her xs children after they were divorced 12 years. when her x died she sued us or my wife and brother in law to get the lease money of 500 dollars from antero. then sold the mineral rights to aunt for 10 dollars who her x did not like.when they were married he put the deed in both there names. then he sold the property or 50 ac farm to sister. but i have not been able to find that deed although it looks like it might be more assessable now then a year ago.this happened in doddridge and ritchie county west virginia. i am not sure how much it is paying but my guess is about 30,000 month.i had a lawyer who got me phone talk and did nothing. i would think there would be a division of farm and mineral rights. thanks very much mike
I moved this over to West Virginia. Maybe someone local can help you with how to hunt for the information.
Also, look on the Ritchie County, WV site for helpful folks.
Yes Mrs.Barnes I am in touch with the operator of the well and they said once they recd the ADI that division orders would be mailed out and then payments. For sec 19 mclain i signed something for a lawyer and my rights were leased for two years for a paltry 250 dollars.
There has been no drilling yet in section 19.
