<p>There was a statute passed maybe 5-10 years ago that required the
holder of such reservations to re-record their interest in order
to preserve it. Not sure whether that would apply to the state.</p>
<p>Those types of reservations are quite common in the Renton, Kent,
Black Diamond, etc. areas due to coal. They seemingly have not
stopped development.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">All: Good morning. In reviewing a Title
Commitment for a client, I discovered that the State had
previously owned the parcel as school lands and upon selling
the parcel in the early 1900s, the State expressly reserved
the oil, gas, and mineral rights in or upon the lands and the
right to explore and extract the same.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve seen such a reservation before, but
because the reservation poses some challenges if my client
were to develop the property in the future, I’m curious: (a)
has anyone attempted to request that the State release such a
reservation before?; (b) what is the likelihood of success?;
and (c) who would be the appropriate person/entity to contact
to start the discussion?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I appreciate any help/insight you can
provide. Thanks!<o:p></o:p></p>
