To determine if you own the mineral rights to a property, follow these steps:

Review the Property Deed

Examine your property deed for details about mineral rights. It may specify whether these rights were retained by a previous owner or transferred to you.

Visit the County Clerk’s Office

Mineral rights are often recorded separately from surface rights. Your local county clerk’s office can provide records outlining the ownership history and any transfers of mineral rights.

Engage a Title Company or Landman

Title companies and landmen are specialists in property ownership research. They can conduct a comprehensive "mineral rights search" to trace the ownership history for you.

Seek Legal Advice

For more in-depth guidance, consult a real estate attorney experienced in mineral rights. They can help you navigate legal documents and clarify your ownership status.

In West Virginia does the owner of a property's mineral right have to notify the property owner before he sales them?

If the mineral rights have been severed from the property and the owner of the mineral rights does not own the property then there is no need to notify the property owner. It's possible to own the mineral rights and not own the property. That would be called the "mineral estate". The owner of the property if different than the mineral owner would be the owner of the "property estate". Being the "mineral estate" owner gives you the same rights as being a "property owner". You can do as you wish with your mineral interests. Only time there is a need to notify the property owner is if any leasing will be going on. Hope this helps.

What about mineral rights covey does it mean to transfer the mineral rights?

Transferring mineral rights means that the ownership of the rights to explore, extract, and sell the minerals beneath a property is being passed from one party to another. This transfer can involve the sale, lease, or gift of those rights, allowing the new owner to benefit from any minerals found or produced. Mineral rights can be separate from surface rights, meaning one party can own the land while another owns the minerals below it.


If mineral rights are not passed on in deed what happens to them?

Unless it is stated in the deed that the mineral rights are reserved in some manner then any mineral rights not previously reserved pass to the grantee.
