We bought 38 acres WITH OUT mineral rights, there was Also a "un-used" cell-tower on the property, now we are receiving letters about the cell tower rights. Do I just refer them to the mineral rights holders??
Thank you in Advance
Andre:
I would think that the cell tower issue would be solely involving the surface owner. The mineral owners involvement would only be the underground minerals. Somewhere there should be paperwork on this cell tower which most likely involved a previous surface owner.
State? Look at your deed, but generally in Texas, that would be a surface rights issue.
I don't know what state you are in but I was informed that in ND mineral rights only pertain to what is under the ground and that surface owners would own the cell tower or wind turbine rights.
