If there are four heirs to a large piece of property can three of them force a sale of the property and if so what happens to the mineral rights belonging to one of the heirs?

By Canadian Law generally the majority of heirs that agree over-rides the others as far as the selling of any property, but, the others who do not want to sell can seek legal counsel and you have a face-off in court. This can take many years to settle so normally most people come to an amicable agreement rather than wait for any monies due them. * In the US the owners wishing to sell the property would need to file suit against the reluctant owner to have the property partitioned so that each person would be allocated their share and would then be able to sell it. In some states the court can order a forced sale of the property regardless of whether all owners are agreeable or not.


Who owns the oil resources in the US?

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.

When could women inherit property in the US?

There is no single answer to your question because property rights are generally governed by state law. To determine what property rights women had in early America you would need to do state by state research. Generally, in Colonial America, a woman's property was under the control of her husband or father. Massachusetts was one of the first jurisdictions that passed law in 1787 allowing married women to own property under certain circumstances. Single women could inherit land. Once a single woman married, the land would come under the control of her husband. Women were not given substantial property rights in all states until around 1900.
