How do I find out if I own the mineral rights?
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.

Your local county clerk’s office can provide records outlining the ownership history and any transfers of mineral rights.

Every acre of land has "mineral rights", that is, the ownership of any and all minerals under the surface of the land. Some own land that has the mineral rights, and in some cases the mineral rights have been sold off in earlier years. A lot of mineral rights are owned by oil companies and a lot are owned by individuals and a lot are owned by state governments and a lot by the federal government. Gathering up these "mineral rights" is the job of Petroleum Land Specialists, some of which work for oil companies and some of which are independent.

Does fee simple include mineral rights?
Initially, land is conveyed from a government to private ownership by a land "grant" or a land "patent". The government may or may not include or exclude mineral rights in the land grant or land patent, or such rights may be governed by statutory law. A government may choose to lease or sell such mineral rights separate from the "land" or "real property". Subsequently, land or real property is conveyed from private ownership to private ownership by "Deed". A private owner could sell off the mineral rights to one party while selling off the land to another party. What is created is a "chain of title" (the land grant or patent, followed by a series of conveyance deeds). Generally, land conveyed "fee simple" also conveys the mineral rights from a Grantor to a Grantee, provided that the Grantor possessed such mineral rights to convey. To find out whether the Grantee has, and the Grantor had, such mineral rights requires tracing back the "chain of title" (usually with a County Clerk of Court or County Recorder of Deeds). One is looking for any deed restrictions or separation of mineral rights in such chain of title. Then one also needs to research whether Federal or State law (statutes) reserve mineral rights to the government through the land grant or land patent or any subsequent transfers. An important component of "mineral rights" is usually the "right of entry" to exploit such rights. While many mineral rights holdings lay "dormant", they often have a "superior" right to exploit the land as compared with a property owner. Which means that they can choose to excavate a huge hole or otherwise tear up your property to exploit what is underneath it. They "eventually" need to compensate you or to more or less put things back the way they were when they started - but they may have more rights to the land than you have to the property. It depends on the governing law (federal or state) and who granted what to whom and when.
How long does a mineral deed last?

What is rule of mineral rights ownership when death to other party having one half mineral rights?
As with any probate estate, it would depend on any number of other issues, including the actual words of the grant of ownership (jointly, in common), then (assuming common ownership) whether there was a valid will of the other party and what the will says about property rights, and if no will, then where the person was domiciled when he or she died and what their laws of intestacy have to say, and if any heirs can be found, and if you can negotiate with the heirs, and so forth. If, for example, you were named on a deed as "A and B", and B dies, then B's share passes to his or her heirs, whoever they are. If there is a will that gives the rights to A, then obviously A now has all the mineral rights, which would be exactly the same as if the deed had said "A and B as joint tenants with right of survivorship," although the estate tax issues may be different.
