Good morning…. As many others, i am new leasing mineral rights. The property in question, was split by Veteran’s Hwy, leaving a 1/4 acre on the other side. Should this be treated as two separate parcels? Blockquote
What does “block quote” mean…did i ask a prohibited question?
Don’t worry about it. I have seen “block quote” before. Might be a keystroke identifier.
Thank you, so nice of you to address my concern.
Do you have an opinion about a highway that divides the land but isn’t listed on the lease as a separate parcel?
I called the Wetzel County Clerk, she said the .25 acre probably refers to the sale of land to put the highway through. Would the mineral rights include beneath the highway?
It depends… Sometimes the minerals are kept in one piece and sometimes, the road gets the ROW.
Depend on whether the highway/state/county got a deed including mineral rights or only an easement. If its an easement, in all likelihood, it is one tract and you own the minerals on both sides of the highway and those under the highway. If it is a deed, depends on whether you reserved the minerals.
Thank you Tim. Since Antero listed it with the parcel they want a lease on, it might be noted on the title.
