mineral rights

Guest 0.10 Dollars($)

Does such a deed allow the grantee the mineral rights as well as the land itself?

Mineral rights are separate from surface rights. By default, a property interest includes both. If they have been separated, then they have separate chains of title.

Check the deed language. It will usually say whether it includes mineral rights or not.

Hi brian avery,

Welcome to the forum.

jheard has rightly said that mineral rights and surface rights are different. I would like to add that sometime the grantor or the owner can reserve the mineral rights when transferring the property. So you should check it through in your deed

Feel free to ask if you have any further questions.

Best of luck,
Larry
