Many Ohio mineral owners inherited their rights, which often carries emotional weight when making decisions.
When mineral rights pass to heirs in Ohio, the transfer may occur through probate court, a trust or deeds executed during the owner’s lifetime. If probate is required and the deceased owner created a will (testate succession), the court follows the will’s instructions. Without a will (intestate succession), Ohio’s succession laws determine the distribution.
