In california state do the mineral rights transfer with the land, or can they be reserved by an owner?

I'm not sure about California, but usually you can sever rights from the land.  This happens with water rights and with mineral rights.  \n\nAlso, in some cases the surface estate and the mineral estate are separate (such as when the lode is directly under a town (such as Virginia City)).  In those cases, unless the surface and mineral estates are merged through a specific deed, the rights remain separate.\n\nYou should, of course, contact a lawyer to confirm this.

They would lose, since California Civil Code 847 states that a property owner "shall not be liable to any person for any injury or death that occurs upon that property during the course of or after the commission of any of the felonies set forth in subdivision (b) by the injured or deceased person." Those felonies includes burglary and robbery.

you may need to find out if it's copy righted...so were when it became a factor.Others weren't....If you change a certain % of it,you can then use it.The law is a tough one ot read and figure out.It basically protects the orignal person's right to any royalties made off it if it's sold.\n\n'Public Domain' is usually what a place is considered.It's take by what they "eminent domain"..basically meaning it would be in the best interest of all in a community/area.\n like a person's land so a road can bebuilt through that area,lake or pond so many can use it....

Two issues. One is what the deeds say. The other is a concept called adverse possession.\n\nAdverse possession says that if you claim land for a long period of time (10-20 years), and actually use, then you get to keep it. It's more complicated than that in practice, but that's the idea.\n\nThe issue will get decided by a court. If you care about the seven feet, then you should consult with an attorney. She'll probably recommend filing what is called a "Quiet Title" action. That asks the court to settle any issues regarding property ownership.

If you inherited it by will or because you were on the deed, you can. Otherwise, you can't. If you believe you are entitled to the land for some reason, you will have to bring a "quiet title" action in court.

If the county owns they land...then they own it.\nThey don't have to do anything with it.

Whoever owns the land owns all the air space above it.  I'm guessing you could make some arrangement with the owner over the use of the property, but the airspace wouldn't be subdividable (i.e. you could never split it into an individual parcel).

Unless you need that money bad I wouldn't sell.  You can receive a nice monthly income from a gas well.  They will need a lease on the land as well as the gas.  It is also tough to buy any land with mineral rights.  I'd strongly recommend keeping the rights.  Think about which company or utility would need the gas and approach them directly and try to negotiate a deal with a nice lease for the land.  You should have more negotiation wiggle room with the mineral rights.

First you need to find out if your family actully owns the MINERAL rights of said land.\n\nIf you own 100% of the Mineral rights, (Doubtful if the land has been in your family less than 150 years) then you could 'lease' the mineral rights of this land to a company who would then write you a check every month or quarter (3 months) to rape your land of its natural resources.\n\nYou will need to contact a real estate attorney before you do anything.

This is a practice known as "squatting." The laws vary from state to state and nation to nation. I've heard of a few places that allow you to acquire the title to the property after a predetermined amount of years but you need to check that out with your local laws.

Depends do you own the mineral rights?

There is no way of knowing the answer to this question because we have no idea what the lot is like or its size.  There are lots of restrictions on filling in wet lands because you are destroying a habitat so it might not even be legal.

Dont know about in the USA but in the UK airspace is "such height as is necessary for the ordinary use and enjoyment of the land and the structures upon it" Lord Bernstein of Leigh v Skyviews & General Ltd, and the ground under land is owned although any minerals found will likely be owned by the state

The Mining Act of 1872 is a United States federal law which authorizes and governs prospecting and mining for hard rock minerals such as gold and silver in publicly owned lands without any compensation provided to taxpayers. No royalties are collected by the Federal Government. It codifies the system of acquiring mining claims on public land that was formed in California and Nevada in the late 1840s, 1850s, and 1860s, during periods such as the California gold rush.\n\nThe act was originally meant to open the west to settlement and development.\n\nIt also allows the mining companies to purchase lands rich with minerals at the 1872 price of $5 an acre. Environmental protection is not addressed by this law.\n\nHowever, the oil industry, coal industry and natural gas industry must still pay royalties.
