Anyone reading my other posts know that we were denied our claim to the mineral rights on our farm of 130acres and after talking with lawyers that abandonment over 106 years should stand for something was told it didn’t. Well we spoke with 3 Ohio Rep.s they disagree. They believe landowners with proof of abandonment should be upheld and they are seeking to fix the loop holes to prevent this travesty happening to any one else. I guess we wait and see. The law says 40 years and rights are lost yet we have 106 years and it isn’t upheld. Cross your fingers we can get the law amended to be on the side of the surface owner. We believe that abandonment of mineral rights over 25 years should be upheld and rights given back to the surface owner.
