Landowners, be prepared
Mineral rights can be a confusing situation for landowners. Many times, people will come in from out of town seeking to drill on or harvest minerals on an individual’s land while searching for some sort of commodity like oil. Knowing your rights can help ensure that if you do decide to lease or sell your mineral rights you will receive a proper reward for your investment. Also, it is worthy to note that choosing to relinquish those rights may affect your quality of life since the crews exploring and harvesting those minerals will be free to roam and dig up your land with tankers, trucks, and other heavy equipment. It is also good to consider how those choices will affect the generations after you.
