I didn't know about RCW 78.22--learn something new every day! Thanks Jennifer.

Sincerely,

Hi David,

You can either get a deed from the prior owner or use RCW 78.22 to extinguish the rights.  That is all I'm aware of short of a quiet title action.

Thanks,

Jennifer

Good morning WSBARP listserv,

I sent out this question on Sunday, but it must have gotten lost in the shuffle. I'm still looking for any insight I can get:

A client owns real property for which a prior owner some decades back reserved subsurface mineral rights. The client learned from a neighbor who owns property received from the common grantor that they had been successful in recovering subsurface mineral rights some years back, but the neighbor could not remember any further specifics.

Anybody have any experience with doing something similar? I'd like to help, but I'm not sure how i would begin. Any options that any more experienced attorneys might know about? Any help would be much appreciated.

Best,
