If a person owns a piece of land do they own it all the way   down to the core of the earth?

Depends on deed restrictions and mineral rights of the land.  Some land plots sell you mineral rights and others don't.  If you don't have mineral rights, then you can't drill or dig up the land.\n\nSo, you'll need to review the deed of the land to know what rights you do and don't have with a given plot of land.\n\nOf course, let's say you could drill to the core. That action could endanger parts of the earth with volcanic activity, so it's probably not likely that you would be granted rights to drill into the mantel.

You own as far down as can be dug.

In some states, the mineral rights may revert back to the surface rights owner after several years.  You may also buy them back from the mineral rights owner.  You just need to research the law in your specific State.

The center of the Earth does not lie in any country's waters.  It's so hot at the center of the Earth that no-one wants to live there.........Every time a country tries to plant a flag at the center of the Earth, the flag burns up, so no country has ever been able to claim it.

Land, they want the land.

It depends on the state law.  In most jurisdictions if two or more people jointly have easement rights, it would require permission from all those who have an interest in order to alter the property in a way that would limit access.  The person who actually owns the land which the easement lies can generally alter it like pave it or something like that so long as they are not disturbing the easement owners access to the right of way.  But - that is just a textbook talking - I would suggest doing a quick yahoo search typing in your state and "property law and easements".  You should be able to find a statute or a website that talks about it - but like I said - every state may be different.

Um. No.  The Earth's core is the centre of the Earth.

This is not necessarliy a lost cause but a true case. A man who bought his house in 1949 bought the water/ mineral rights to his property. When the road in front of his house was being widened the government offered him less than 3 thousand dollars for his house and property claiming eminent domain. Due to the fact he owned the land and what lies beneath they could not force him to sell, so in retaliation they put the road right against his front porch and moved to put the power lines over his house so they could condemn it. I was working for the power company at the time and got an engineer out there to re-route the power lines away from this man's home. However, to the end of his life (he died about 4 years after all this) he had a guard rail at the end of his steps off his front porch. We need to change the laws so the Government cannot seize homes to sell property to corporations and to protect the homeowner.

The United Nations declared that nobody can own land on a celestrial body outside the Earth.  However, there's a lunatic who thinks he found a loophole in the law and claims to own the entire lunar surface.  He's selling slices of land.  You better hurry while plots are still available.

And who do you think is in a position that they are property of another person?

This is called adverse possession.  \nThe rules vary from state to state.\nThe time varies from state to state.\nIn most states the person claiming as an adverse possessor must also show that he/she had something that made him/her think he/she had a right to that property, e.g. an unclear boundary line.  If this rule is in your state, someone who knew the land was not his/hers would not get possession.\nSome states require that the adverse possessor also pay the property taxes on the disputed land.\n\nBest advice, check with an attorney in your state and take action sooner rather than later.

Unless they have changed the laws since I was last there ... you MUST be a citizen of Mexico to actually own any land there.  I found this out when I came across some beach front property I wanted to buy.\n\nAssuming by your question that you are not a Mexican Citizen, you would have to obtain citizenship there.\n\nIf you are in the United States .. then you must remember that the U.S. does not recognize dual citizenship. (assuming they haven't changed the rules)

Different countries have claims on settlements there but no one actually owns/governs it.\nLooks like Australia, Chile, Argentina, UK, France and New Zealand claim to own sections of it.

Anywhere you are,is the center of the surface of the Earth.More technically,If you want to be in the actual center,you would have to go to the core.

It is possible to own mineral rights without owning the land. As a royalty owner myself, I caution you to be careful about signing any documents or bank drafts that may be offered to you without having the matter reviewed by an Oklahoma attorney specializing in mineral rights. In my case I knew the history of my inheritance but the fine print in the first draft would have actually taken away my ownership after one year. There have been some scams running also in recent years in Oklahoma and Texas, so it is best to make certain that the proposal is completely above board.
