Wondering how owning mineral rights works?
Can you still own the rights without owning the land?
Just found out our family on my mothers side, a sister of my mother, owned 80 acres of mineral rights out in N.D.
She passed away a while back.
My mother is the only living survivor.
Now, they want to drill.
"They", being a company wanting to lease the land.
Why no drilling until now I have no idea.
A lot of legal documents suddenly flying back and forth.
So far, that's all I know.
