Mineral rights are a complicated topic. Under that umbrella (regarding mineral rights in land) would also fall the right to royalties from companies that have leased or purchased mineral rights from a prior owner. Generally, a life tenant is entitled to the profits from the land during their tenancy. However, state laws vary and you should consult with an attorney who practices real estate law in your area and who is familiar with mineral rights. Keep in mind that properties subject to life estates are more generally residential properties and not coal mines, oil and gas wells.
