What does it mean if someone applies for registration of mines & minerals on my property?
Sounds l;ike someone has been digging around looking for his roots – and I don’t mean in the dirt! Could be, whoever this is applying for registration of mines and minerals, has found out he is a descendant of whoever owned the land before you!! There could be some kind of document saying this Lord has a claim to any and all mining proceeds and minerals on said property, but, if it was sold at a later date, if they wanted to keep it in the original family’s name, it had better to be stated in any real estate transaction! Usually, when you buy a piece of land, you own the earth below it, and the sky above. Real Estate Law. It might be a good idea to do some research on the PAST owners of your property, and look for who owns the mineral rights! Your city should have such documents! Whoever is doing this, they can’t take your house away from you, that sits ON the land, NOT beneath it!! If I remember rightly, Yorkshire has a lot of coal mines – or someone trying to find my father’s flooded
