That is good to know thank you wv mineral owner and happy holidays to you and your family
To add to what WV Mineral Owner said... also make sure you get the minerals assessed and pay taxes on them where appropriate. I suspect the clerk's office would advise you to do this, or an attorney drafting the deed would advise you to do this... but just make sure you have it assessed in your name and you are paying taxes on it.
yes thank you G.H.Pay taxes on minerals that are still in the ground and then IF they get drilled pay more taxes lol they keep us broke for a reason.
Adding to the topic...
The time frame varies depending on the county, but some counties take as much as two years from date of purchase, until the taxes are assessed in the new owner's name. One must be vigilant to pay the taxes, regardless of if you receive a tax statement, never make the assumption the taxes are not owed.
WV is unique with some of the rules of ownership, countless people have had their property sold at a Sheriff's Tax Auction, out of ignorance. A simple example... Say Grandma retires and passes in Florida, if she owns minerals in WV, the estate is required to file a death certificate & will in every county she owns minerals. Grandma's heirs may not know about the mineral ownership, sold the condo she lived in and the tax tickets are either returned to the county or thrown in the circular file by the new condo owner, suddenly the minerals are sold at auction for back taxes.
HAHA yeah, what a racket. But gotta make sure they're paid if you wanna keep owning them.

AboutWhat makes this site so great? Well, I think it's the fact that, quite frankly, we all have a lot at stake in this thing they call shale. But beyond that, this site is made up of individuals who have worked hard for that little yard we call home. Or, that farm on which blood, sweat and tears have fallen. [ Read More ] |
