If  someone doesn't have mineral rights on their property can they ever get any rights ever?

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.

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

Around the time, women could not own land.  It was forbidden by laws.  All their properties would be their parents or (until they are married) inherited by their hustbands.  The only exceptions (when women did own their land) were if the women are single and not married.

There are some wrongs that can't be fixed.  You are so far away from the person it is unlikely you can do anything.  If you want to try you can see if you can contact the other people who have been wronged. If you find one close to the sellers county you can assign your claim to them and they can sue.  Not very likely you'll ever get anything though.

IN property law often times ACTUALLY Holding on to an object or occupying a some land is often decisive.\n\nFor example: if you are walking down a street and someone snatches your purse and is then caught, YOU do not have to prove that the purse is ACTUALLY yours, that you did not steal it yesterday etc etc, before the person is convicted as a thief. All you have to show to convict that person of theft is that you were just holding on to a purse before he snatched it. \n\nSimilarly if your purse is stolen and is not found within 5 years(statute of limitations) the thief basically now owns the purse, because there is no way you can prosecute him.\n\nThis doctrine also often applies to real property. If you actually LIVE on the land(but don't have a legal title, basically you are squatting) you can kick off a new trespasser without showing title. And if you live on the land long enough(usually 10 years) You will get a Title to it, and the person who had it before but did not use the land looses it(This is known as adverse possession).\n\nSo basically often(90% of time) the entitlement to property will be useless or irrelevant while ACTUAL POSSESSION will control.

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

Ownership is a term that most of us take for granted in that if we buy, are given or inherit items, ownership generally follows. However, that the right of ownership is seldom an absolute right.\nIn general, it can be said that an owner's rights are often limited under both common law and statute to take account of the rights of others.\nCommon law remedies to questions of ownership are usually based upon possession and rights to possession. It is generally sufficient simply to prove a better right than the other party and not necessarily to prove absolute ownership. This has the consequence that issues relating to ownership are less likely to come before the courts.

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.

The easiest way would be to order a title search. The title report would disclose any liens against the property, who the current owner of record is, easements, mineral claims, etc.

What would be important to know is if you live in a community property state. If you do, you can't do it on your own.

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.

In many states, when property is not claimed after some period of time, it is turned over to a state office that handles unclaimed properties. See link below for the office for the state of California.\n\nUse the second link to find the office for each state

depends where the area is. they may not even let you mine the area if the coal contains large amounts of sulfer or other impurities since pollution laws are stricter nowadays. i think the better option would be to just sell it to a mining company unless you want to start your own mine, i dont know how you would go about doing that.

Please see reference below.\nIf there is no other access to a road, I would say the person will be able to claim right of way by necessity.\nConsulting with a lawyer is a good idea.\nGood luck.
