The lease of the minerals is secondary, or accessory, to the ownership of them. Therefore, A cannot maintain a lease of minerals for which he has no ownership.


First of all, I know nothing about mineral rights...

But this makes sense to me. Same if I buy a rental property, the rent checks dont keep going to the previous owner. His right to lease out the mineral rights should end when he sold those rights.

If Person A's attorney practices mineral rights law in Louisiana they probably should think about quitting. Also, person B (assuming LA) is due the royalty payments back to the time of sale and can claim said payments for a period of up to three years.


I cannot see any Louisiana attorney, who could find a civil code or mineral code, screwing the pooch this badly.

I would guess that our Seller had an Internet forum attorney. Lol.
