I'd ask them what they plan to dig up and research it on the net. I have a cousin who has a few acres in Louisiana, and they drill oil on his land he gets 600/month, which after only 10 months he'll get 6K, so in less than 2 years you could potentially make more than that 10K. I'd ask and do some research. Even if you only got $100 a month it would take only about 8 years to get 10K. However, with 10K you could invest it. I know someone who invested 10K in a stock about 2 years ago and it has become 15K in 2 years, not a bad return.

Just think though if you give up your mineral rights, it may be harder to sell your home because you've given them permission to be there and whoever wants to buy it next may not like the arrangement, especially if they do not get royalties. Also, you'll have people and machines on your property all the time. Not so much people, but people will come by to do maintance on the machines etc.

What is a pendens?

Lis pendens is the Latin term meaning "suit pending." A lis pendens is a notice filed in the office of land records by the plaintiff that the ownership of real property is the subject of a legal controversy. Anyone who purchases the property takes it subject to any claims asserted in the action. This notice secures a plaintiff's claim on the property so that the sale, mortgage, or encumbrance of the property will not diminish plaintiff's rights to the property, should plaintiff prevail in its case.

If you own a piece of land do you own everything beneath that land such as oil and other raw materials?

to my understanding anything that lies below your property you own.. minerals most definately... oil can be tricky thou if the oil is under your property and someone elses property then you both own it most oil companies would pump the oil and give you royalty checks for the oil... and that goes for all whos land is located above the oil... However, some land owners in the past would subdivide a section but retain all water rights to use on their remaining land. You may have to check with the county recorder to find if your land has been stripped of all mineral and/or water rights. Actually, it depends on the title of the land. If it is fee simple, or if the title withholds mineral rights, etc. Some deed give you mineral rights on the property but not building rights. Others allow you to own what is above ground, but not what is under ground. It is best to consult a lawyer for issues of title. == ==
