Legal Question in Real Estate Law in Ohio

You would have to perform a title search to make sure the current homeowner still owned the rights and to see if the mortgage was secured by these rights. You should meet with an attorney if you are seeking to purchase the property just for the mineral rights. I have clients throughout Ohio and would be pleased to schedule a free consulation with you.
