North Dakota Code 38-18.1-04 - Statement of claim - Recording - Time

North Dakota Code > Title 38 > Chapter 38-18.1 > § 38-18.1-04 - Statement of claim - Recording - Time

^{Current as of: 2009}

^{Check for updates}

The statement of claim provided for in section 38-18.1-02 must:

1. Be recorded by the owner of the mineral interest or the owner's representative prior to the end of the twenty-year period set forth in section 38-18.1-02. A joint tenant,

but not a tenant in common, may record a claim on behalf of oneself and other joint tenants.

2. Contain the name and address of the owner of the mineral interest, and a legal description of the land on, or under which, the mineral interest is located as well as the type of mineral interest involved.

3. Be recorded in the office of the recorder in the county in which the mineral interest is located.

The mineral interest is deemed to be in use at the date of recording, if the recording is made within the time provided by this section. A statement of claim filed after July 31, 2009, by a person other than the owner of record of the mineral interest is not effective to preserve a mineral interest unless accompanied by a reference to the name of the record owner under whom the owner of the mineral interest claims.
