Call Rylan Rivas attorney and judge! If there is a loop hole in the law ⚖ he will know. His office is in Chickasha. I don't believe that they have total power of eminent domain. Please check your rights before giving them up.
Thumb this up, folks, so they see this comment 🙏
Agree!!! Look for a loophole out and get your money back.
This isn't a case of eminent domain! The government isn't trying to seize their property without proper compensation.
Maybe solar is the way to go.
Definitely contact an attorney. Don’t know how closing on a property in Oklahoma is done,but my experience in CA. and NY. There is a title company that checks for things like that. I believe that they should have informed you of this before the closing. They should be held responsible if that’s the case. Hope this helps. Good luck
Without a lawyer they are walking all over you.
Chill, DO NOT PANIC. I've told you this before but you've never paid attention to any of my posts. My dad has 160 acres at hwy 48 and 56 just to the West about 3/4 mile. If you drive it, you'll see the big ponds, you can't miss them. OK, he's about 30 minutes South of you on 48. He too has a pipeline through the property. The oil people are very very understanding and WILL WORK with you. They are not the A holes people make them out to be. I'd about be will to bet money, if the oil people were to come and look at your stuff, they'd say leave it, we can work around this and will work around it for you, but going forward, whatever else you do, keep us mind, call us up and lets see what we can work out. We've had the oil people come out to my dad's property to repair a leak in the pipeline that was detected by air. While out there, they asked, hey since we have this equipment out here, do you need any dirt work done? Is there any oil related messes you want cleaned up on the property. They COULD do many things, but usually they WILL NOT and they are very cordial and nice people. Also if something does need moved, they'd even offer up to help you move it. For real, don't panic, just work with the oil people, YES it's worth staying there and keeping what you got. A few plans might have to change, but I'm guessing you'd be able to keep what you've already done.
If you haven't already, I would call teh Oklahoma Energy Resources Board (OERB). They have a program that cleans up orphaned or abandonded well sites, including remval of equipment , concrete and trash. Even if the wells on your property aren't abandoned they could be a resource for information on what to do. Good luck.
Jason, it's no coincidence that the officer came by 24-48 hours after your neighbor came over and had a long talk with you..Humm !
All that being said, how would the police know you were there and within so many feet of what he told you ? And I'm guessing this officer told you, that you had no mineral rights to this property ?? I'm also guessing the title /deed search never gave you any clues to this potential situation that someone or something else owned part of what you just bought and paid for ..sounds like a legal issue of someone trying to scam you out of money and property you bought ..I do think you need a lawyer ..
One who has knowledge of these things & issues..and please know you have more rights than the officer was letting you know.. He has only been told one side of a possible issue with your property. ..please check it out legally..a good attorney will give you a free initial consultation. This would be to know if indeed you have legal possession of YOUR property ..hope this helps
I'd call a Lawyer and talk about how the land was misrepresented to you and possibly see who you could sue, because this is AMAZINGLY ridiculous!! How did no one know anything about this until over a year later? Freaking INSANE!!
Especially since in 2021 the federal government deemed if an oil-filled had not been active for 12 months it was considered abandoned
@@mywoobee I'd forward this information to the Crocker's.
@George Cole please put yoir comment in again so its at the Top!!!
@@mywoobee And due to that law any abandoned oil pumps left abandoned the owner is responsible for plugging it up with cement. With the property being abandoned before they bought it and it's been over a year since they bought the land, and nothing was done on the pumps, it's considered abandoned. The company is responsible for shutting them down permanently. Any land or property that's abandoned in Oklahoma from 30 days or a few months, is considered abandoned, and anyone can get the title and take over paying property taxes on it.
@@milliewilkie1969 Someone said, when someone says without any proof to back it up. Then you can't take that with a grain of salt.
Guys have you talked with the Oil & Gas company yet? They most likely will work with you. I'm a Surface Landman for a Oil & Gas company in Texas and have ran into this issue a few times. Jason and Danielle reach out I may be able to provide you info that could help with y'alls problems.
@@Letsdoit2 THAT WAS OCC THEY KNOW WHAT THER BOOK SAYS I USED TO HAUL OIL IN OKLAHOMA THEY USUSALLY WORK WITH LAND OWNERS
Why don't you just put solar on your tiny house?
You guys are awsome .helpfull.
@@m.mickeypayne9811because solar doesnt provide as much energy as its made out too its an expensive set up that requires a lot of money spent on maintenance the awful truth is solar cost more than just paying a bill every month
Wow!! You two are handling this much better than I would. First, you two wanted an acreage for peace and privacy, you won’t have that if the oil company decides to use the property again. Besides that, your property is now pretty much divided. I’m one that would seek a lawyer and figure out if you have any options as to getting your money back. Of course, the ball is in your hands to its your choice. Best wishes for getting through this messy situation.
I totally 100% agree with you that they need to get a lawyer to situate this out this is really messed up
100% I would’ve lost my mind over this situation!! I would definitely have to contact a lawyer and get my money back.
Agree. Did y’all not get a title policy! Also all the right of ways should be documented in your deed. Check on that and find an attorney.
Someone had to of called on on them cops just do now show up at random
@Seperman I wonder if maybe the electric Co made inquires that alerted the oil people. They must be used to this kind of thing if as Jason says it happens all the time. It's messed up for sure!
I'm a Right of Way Agent in Texas. While this puts a damper on things, I don't see this as a huge issue. Especially with this being what appears to be an inactive field. Get in touch with the oil company. They'll work with you.
My question is what made that officer come out? I would be contacting a lawyer 😢
My thoughts as well
I wondered that too. It could be just by chance.
maybe he watches youtube?
I'm thinking one of their haters called in the same people who have called animal control etc these people are nuts that do this and will do anything they can to harm a TH-camr who does not bend to their wil.
“Officer”? What department or agency is he representing? What laws, ordinances, or policies is he empowered to enforce? Who failed to perform their fiduciary duties in disclosures during the closing of the real estate transaction? Why don’t you know these things?
I know it's not my situation, but I honestly feel sick to my stomach for you guys. Please speak to an attorney before going forward. I'm so incredibly proud how you're dealing with this. A lot of people would have come on and been a train wreck, but you two handled this with such grace. I know you're extremely stressed, but wow🙏👏I will be seriously praying for God's hand over this.
I'd be checking at the land titles office to make sure there isn't an access easement on the property (I might have missed that part trying to fend off my dog who was wanting attention), and then check with the State Mining Department to see if the well is actually listed as "abandoned". If it is, I'd try to have the easement removed and the well recovered and remediated at the well company's cost, and then you'd have your property free and clear. Fair warning, it'll likely cost a fair chunk of change to have that done (if it can be, that is), but it'd be money well-spent to get it done.
Easements are required to be on the deed and disclosed by law.
That is why when I’ve bought all my properties we made sure we owned the property and the mineral rights.
That is some crazy stuff. You guys do some amazing work. Fingers crossed for you
I'm blown away at how you guys are handling this! You guys, i would be so PISSED!!!! What a great team you two are. Im completely convinced there is absolutely NOTHING you guys cant go through TOGETHER. You two are made for each other. Never forget the blessing of having each other in your lives. I'm so sorry about all this crap but i know you will make the best of it and NEVER give up on your shared dreams! She make you a better man. You make her a better women. WIN WIN!!
I have a bad feeling they didn't use a title company to close the deal on the property. A title search would have disclosed all of this during escrow.😟
I wonder if there was a real estate company. Perhaps they bought it or even leased or financed it directly through the owner.
I think the property in TX was owner financed and it reverted back to him if it was not fully paid.
I’m so sorry for what you have found yourselves in. A title company would have been helpful before but may be worthwhile to follow up with one in the area that’s familiar with the area now, especially if your planning on selling. I’d cut my loss and try to pick up the tiny house to another area, IMHO. Good luck! And all the best to you 2🙏
Y’all seriously did not do any research on utility easements? I am flabbergasted.
Ya and ZERO due diligence
Or have a survey done
We will keep yall in our prayers 🙏🏻! It might be better to sell and move but that's up to yall!! I believe in yall either way ❤
Thank you both for sharing this! I'm a little behind but trying to catch up! I love y'all! Will be praying for y'all! I appreciate all y'all do!
I would dig all the gravel up and put it on your new road that you have to build because of this
Hello Rebel how are you doing today
My experience with the drilling companies in OK is if it has been abandoned, most likely it will not be reopened. They don't "own" the land. Were you told if you got minerals right along with the land?
This ^^^
So sorry to hear about all this. I would definitely arrange a meeting with the oil company executives to find out just where you stand. And get a clear map of all the boundaries and parameters needed to properly CO exist. Before moving forward with any more projects. I know you two will figure out the best Game plan for your future.
Oh damn Jason and Danielle, what a hit where it hurts 😢 Staying positive for you guys 👍
As Arthur commented, below, contact an attorney if for nothing else to make sure this isn't some type of scam. You wouldn't believe the kind of detailed research some scammers will go to in order to fool property owners into giving up their rights and even their homes/homesteads! It's sickening that there is so much scum allowed to exist, in the world but, unfortunately, it's a fact of life. At least an attorney will be able to determine, without a doubt, if it's legitimate, or fake.
Obviously all the details aren’t in this video. To me, it sounds like they don’t own the mineral rights, and whoever does, whether that’s the government or private oil company, has future plans for their wells. Still though, even as the landowners, they have a lot power. They definitely need to meet with an attorney who specializes in the oil and gas industry.
Jason and Danielle my husband and I found out we had a water easement through our property after we moved into our home. After going through the county and state we where able to get the easement moved but it took thousands of dollars. The best thing we did was hire a surveyor to come out and survey our land mark our easement. It was the cheapest way to find out what we where working with and how to proceed. They will mark the easement for you then you can figure out how to move forward. That is my 2 cents it did work for us. Much luck to you and Danielle.
Best advice Yet.
@@ruthfore8249 thank you!
How was the easement not found during the sale? A title company should have located this? Do you have title insurance? Have you thought about solar?
Hi Jason and Danielle. Sorry to hear about the officer that brought you the bad news. You two have big decisions to make. I will 🙏🙏 that you will sort it out. Will always be here and support you two. Be safe, Love you two💕💕
What about the shop? That obviously was property of the oil fields also
Hiring a lawyer that is not affiliated with the oil company is always necessary !Water is your key ! Leaching? Solar is an option but do want to live that life? As you always do, deep breath. This is when your friendships with your neighbors will help. Ask them if they own the oil on their land. If not how do they deal with the company. Seek out the neighbors that have found a good balance with the companies. If you feel the oil companies have primary power over you and there is a possibility they can take you freedoms away, leave. If not work with the worst case situation and protect yourself from it. Remember when you move there will always be problems. They will just be different. Ask your lawyer the questions about other people have come across in the worst case. That should be your baseline.
Sue the real estate company as well as the survey company for not enclosing all of this at closing!!
It was a facebook deal
@@tinybubbles263 😮
@@tinybubbles263 How do you know this?
@@tinybubbles263 It shouldn't matter 60+ acres much less a house on small lot, still has to be surveyed and so on or you could be building stuff on someone else property. Plus it has to go through a title company in order for this to be even sold and they require it to be surveyed and everything on the property is marked with in that survey especially on land purchases. If this did not happen then they got suckered in. If they are this gullible then I got some old cans they kick on down the road for sale.
@@jwblount7802
Rude much
WOW... We have 10 acres in OKC and our driveway is 1 of 2 oil gates on the property... shipping container, RV's and boats are parked within 10 ft of the other oil road that goes to a disposal well. They did a workover on it 10 yrs ago and belly ached about clearances, but they managed... You're supposed to have surface rights and they have mineral rights. They should be able to work with you... Downside is pollution of your water table...
We all know y’all not staying, you gotta keep building for the channel! Plus we know y’all gonna have something bigger
Consult with a lawyer who has experience dealing with this type of situation in OK and go from there. Best of luck.
For sure get a lawyer, this is bigger than most normal people can handle. This stinks big time.
Damn!! You guys just can't catch a break!! I am so sorry to hear of these complications. Praying it all works out for you !! Can't wait to finally see you guys in your forever home where ever that may turn out to be...I'm deeply invested and in this for the long haul!! Hang in there
Sounds like you guys got the royal shaft!! If like the officer said this happens all the time, there should be a law to protect the buyer! If it's not one thing it's for you guys! There has to be a solution and I pray you find it! When you think you have come to the end of your rope, make a knot and hold on! My favorite saying!!!
So very sorry I wish you well and pray things turn around for you
Hello from Texas 76" I am so sorry this happened to you all. I am going to pray that God well so you the right thing to do. Love Nana 76"
Okay…my question is 1) did you go through a title company when you purchased? 2) did they do a title search? It is their responsibility to find this stuff out.
I’m reading the comments, apart from feeling for you Jason and Danielle I’m just gutted because it’s not just you guys now it’s you guys and all the animals and the dogs. All this way through they’ve been your priority and I know they still will be , sending my love
So sorry you guys. I can't believe they didn't have to disclose. When we bought our house in Michigan we had to sign papers saying that we had been told that a slight curve in our drive encroached onto the neighbors property 18 inches!! Sending prayers and good vibes for a happy solution!
I think it was a handshake over a facebook marketplace deal. Idk. Sketchy deal. It as probably sold really cheap.
No, not a Facebook handshake deal. We got it from a land company
@@TheCrockers I’m just so very sorry! We have issues with the electric company. They are horrible to deal with. I would try and get get you money back and move on. You will never have the privacy you are looking to enjoy in the years to come. I wish you both all the luck! What a horrible situation.
@@TheCrockers then you need to talk to the land company about it to me you guys are ______ and you are paying taxes on something that isn't even working i wouldn't move though
@@TheCrockersThree critical items that will save headaches when buying:
1) real estate lawyer
2) title search
3) home warranty (if a house is on it)
Keep the faith all will work out for you in the best way!
Thanks for sharing this. Sorry it has become such a challenge.
That’s why you go through title company. They figure all that out before you buy it. They check for easements and mineral and oil rights
These people are dumb as rocks. This is unwatchable.
OMG.. I can not believe this is happening to you two.... I seriously got overwhelmed with emotion a few minutes in! 🥺 I wish you two could catch a break!!! Prayers and positive thoughts you guys ways!!! I hope you guys figure it out and everything works out the way it's supposed to! Positive vibes 🤙🏻 and much love to you!! ❤️
Jason and Danielle, I’m so sorry that this has happened to you. Everything was looking so good on your property. Maybe there’s a chance you both can talk to the oil company about this situation and they will be willing to work something out with you. That would be my first option. The second option would be to leave everything the way that it is for the time being but move your trailer to a different location. Then figure out a plan B. You both have done so much to this property within a years time that I can’t visualize you having to lose your property and rebuild your dreams. Figure up how much it will cost to relocate your electricity poles, etc. In other words, talk with the oil company and the electric company. Then you will know which direction to take. Sending prayers up for you both. Much love to you both. ❤ Until next time.
OMG my heart is just racing over this and it’s not even happening to me. Praying for you.
California Land surveyor here. While every state is different, I have NEVER seen a remote access road match that of the written legal description for said road easement. I mention this because the road/path itself may not be at the legally recorded location for said easement. These things become tricky if written before 1972 as the verbiage is typically vague. In short, it would behoove you to have a surveyor review the language of the access easement and have them stake the centerline of access per the document. I highly suspect you'll find that the path and the recorded easement are not the same. With any luck the route of the recorded easement will work in your favor, but you definitely do not want to invest in utilities until the road location is set by a surveyor. You would also benefit from recording a "record of survey" with the county tying the access road the established monuments.
Good luck!
These people are too dumb to develop vacant land. They need to rent an apartment. Local street cops have no authority over civil issues like mineral rights and access easements, yet these fools call this cop "officer" and listen to his every word. The cop probably knows less about real estate law than these people.
We have been looking for property in Texas and Oklahoma and was warned that something like this could happen if we didn't buy the mineral rights with the property. How scary!
It's almost impossible to obtain mineral rights anymore...I'm a former lease and title analyst of 15 years. Most land that is sold now days is surface to the sky.
Makes no sense...this wouldve been caught by the title company & if they didn't catch it, that's what title insurance is for ...
always thoroughly check the property out before purchase
Not so easy. I share a water pipeline easement through my 12 acre property in one corner with my neighbours. The neighbour at the rear wished to subdivide into 1 hectare blocks and lodged a planning application at the council. I rang and spoke to the person processing this application. Council had inquired with the local water retailer as to the status of the pipeline and had been told it was no longer used. I work as a contractor for the local retailer and know it is the main pipeline for Mornington Peninsula. Any problems you see to call Melbourne water who control the easement not south east water who are the retailer. Ownership of these easements in Australia are complicated as the original easements may have been issued over 100 years ago and do not point you to who the current owner is.
My biggest concern is if it is an active well cite, is it toxic? How will that effect your health or the health of your animals? Other than that, take your time. Look at all options. I'm 100% sure Jason will figure out a game plan. Then we will watch those awesome videos. I would be checking into previous owner selling you oil field land and the price of the property you bought would come down drastically if you choose to stay.
This would be my concern too. Do you want to live that close to the chemicals they use in a drilling operation? Is the water contaminated?
Yes, and it is costly to cap or close those toxic wells. It was on CNN Nightly News a few days ago.
Keep the property. Ideal location despite a few large hurdles. The studio building is portable and can be easily moved. Use the barn as long as possible and build another as you can. You can do it 👍👍👍👍👍
Next investment absolutely should be an attorney to handle this entire situation for you. Don't even consider trying to deal with this without an attorney
ABSOLUTELY!!
So ten grand to an attorney rather than reroute the electric?
Paying an atorney for what? For buying land cheap and not doing your due diligence?
All I remember from last year was how smart they all thought they were and couldn't believe how lucky they were. Total hubris and non-'stop bragging.
@@sb_db9350 LOL you won't get any argument from me about his usual show of arrogance and know-it-all attitude however after the fact he still needs to use his head and get an attorney in hopes of bailing himself out of another mess he's gotten himself into. My money is on the fact he will not use his head and get an attorney. As always too stubborn for his own good. I used to feel sorry for her thinking she had not a clue what she was getting herself into but some have to learn the hard way. And some like Jason never learn it all.
Both of you need to first sit down with an attorney. Get all the information of your property, “Before you do another thing”. This needs to be throughly investigated. Man this is a gut punch. We your audience ,have been with you both from the beginning. I really can’t wrap my mind around this. Keep the faith. Have your options laid out before making any moves. 🙏🏼🫶🏻
Hey it coulda been way worse, u can make another entrance and do solar, u can move your tiny house and possibly make a road next to the pole barn with a tractor to appease them . But I m thinking at least u know now you coulda lost way more. It’s a blessing in disguise that that man showed up when he did.
I wouldn’t take just one man’s words as the truth. Lawyer up before you decide anything.
Valerie in SC
Go off grid solar . You could install a couple of small systems at each building. Use the generator as a back-up during winter. Will save you on electricity infrastructure also.
ID OF NEVER HOOKED TO THE MAINS IN THE FIRST PLACE.
You have a point. I know a couple of homesteaders who live completely off grid.
I concur
$5000 for a sufficient solar system.
@@WattsinWattsoutyup....5k in batteries alone
Something about this sounds mighty fishy. Why would an officer randomly come there out of the blue.
I agree. My first stop would be the county recorders office and then an attorney because how the heck can they sale property they have no right to?
@@dannageil9610 I soagree
Hello Gloria how are you doing today
Did y'all not utilize a title company or anything prior to closing? You should have been well aware of existing easements and such before closing.
Wow I am so sorry ! Here in Alaska the Realtor or owner of property must disclose things like this and more . It seems so wrong, the Realtor could withhold this information . Knowing you wanted to build a home and have animals . I hope there is a way to find some kind of relief for this situation. Keep us all up to date of course we will keep following you on your adventure through the life you all are looking for ! ❤🥰🙏🏼
I agree contact a lawyer to figure out which Homestead Act your land is filed under. The fact that you have documented your journey fully helps. Also consider hiring a landscape architect or property surveyor to help you plan out the grading of the land as you continue your journey.
When they did the title search before closing on the sale, they didn’t find all this out?
How did the officer happen to even come out? Did someone complain. Did the oil company try something? It's not like an officer to just show up checking on things is it? You poor kids what a shock. Lots to think about.
Hello Kay how are you doing today
Vince Lombardi once was looking for his quarterback to be. He had the team attempt getting to the other side of a wall which was to high to get over. Player after player attempted to go over without success. Bart Starr walked up, assessed the challenge and walked around the wall to the other side. Vince Lombardi found his quarterback.
You two possess what it takes to get on the other side of the wall you now face! I believe in you.
Excellent example!!
See an attorney. My brother lives 9 miles out of Bristow and they have an easement. They have obligations to repair any damage to roads and lands. They paid a fortune to my brother for road damage and there was NO OIL and they’ve never been back. They may work with you but I would get any agreements in writing.
You hit a roadblock. No reason to give up. The house is good where it is. The other stuff are just nuisances. Rural living is always about adapting. Having been raised on a farm, I know that you have to always be ready to adapt. It is more about your spirit. You are either someone who gives up or you someone who finds a way.
WOW!!!! Just wow!!!!
Speak to an attorney before deciding on anything. 99% are saying the same!! We all have got your back!!! Much respect for the positive way you both are handling all of this.
Love and prayers for you both!!!
I'm sorry you guys are going through this. I can not believe the realtors can sell property like that without telling you.
Realtors are as bad and shady as dealerships are...dont ever trust them...
Talk to a Lawyer first to see what your options are. In Connecticut realtors by law have to give you full disclosure.
Don't let anyone bully you off your property!!! Call a constitutional lawyer!!! Even though it has to do with mineral rights! Call and find out what your rights are!!! FIGHT!
Just build you a huge solar array! So sorry y'all are having to go through this but WOW y'all sure seem to be handling it well.
Seriously, did you buy property without doing a title search and having a land survey? How do you even get a deed without a title search and land survey? That is just standard practice.
This is the responsibility of their closing attorney! Any easement should have been exposed at closing. An easement is an agreement to SHARE property ... NOT to impose an imminent domain. J & D needs a good attorney.
Land survey where I am at cost between $120-$150 an acre depending on topography. If you are purchasing 100 acres... well you can do the math.
I put these costs on the seller as I believe ALL buyers should. A seller should know exactly what they are selling if they want the price they are asking. If seller was unwilling to get a survey I would knock that cost off your offer.
We are not living in 2017-2022 anymore. SELLERS do not have the upper hand anymore.
Title searches are free to anyone. Public record.
If you pay cash for land, which is most common, you do not deal with a bank, and most forego these bank requirements due to cost. Put it on the seller always.
I'm assuming each state is different, but this is on the realtor, title company and loan officer. This should be considered a lawsuit in protection of the consumer (J&D)
@@RM-cm8hz Simple "Four Corner" surveys are a LOT cheaper.
How much is that going to cost you?
If none of this was told to you by the seller of the land it sounds like you were mis-sold as you would never have bought this property. I am wondering if its worth getting legal advice about suing the seller. In the UK you definately could, I am amazed your realtors have no professional duty to tell buyers things that impact on decisions to spend lots of money.
Another shaky Crocker real estate transaction? I’m shocked.
I would contact a lawyer 1st to get a clear idea of what could be done Maybe the oil company will end up having to pay some sort of lease to you. 2nd maybe solar might be the way you would need to go. But glad it happen before poles and power were in. I bet the power company had to file some sort of permit for work and this is what sent the alert to the officer.
Your settlement attorney should have explained it to you. It should be in your deed. That is a lawsuit.
Can you sue sellers for non disclosure
Just keep doing what you are, things get thrown at you for reasons, only God knows, but sometimes it's takes something like this to open your eyes not to move but to really look what you have over, you two have done a wonderful job don't give up. Keeping doing what your doing. Till next time God Bless.
I agree 100%
They should not be allowed to sale if that's the case !! That insane they could legally sale u property u can't use !!!
I am from Oklahoma, and yes…it does happen. And I don’t think you will want that tiny house next to the road IF the oilfield becomes active again. You will get no sleep. :/ Given the current Administration’s depleting and giving away our oil reserves, I foresee production having to come back at some point; however, the gentleman you talked to should have some idea of the likelihood for you particular location. We had a Parker operation near our property in Oklahoma…and those take up a lot of space and make a heck of a lot of noise. :/. So, you might want to scout out your property given the new info and see how far away from their easement you can get, if you choose to stay…with the idea that they “might” use it eventually. And you could be living full-time on solar and add a small wind-generator to capture electricity on the windy days…which are many where you are. :). All my fam lives in Tulsa now. I have been in Nashville twenty-five years, but I still go back and forth some during the year. You should really check into that. For what the electric will cost to run, you could get a kick-butt solar rig too.
The original property map with your title etc, would have shown easements. An easement is an easement.
Wow what a revolting development, I'm so sorry yall are having to deal with all this. ❤🙏 ❤🙏 I'm praying for your situation!!
If it was considered abandoned property, they should have detailed all of that before it was bought. With how overgrown everything was, it was abandoned property, and the oil well wasn't even being used, all these months they never bothered to come out and do anything. So I'd look into that legally, and and see if there are any loopholes around it. If they do tear down anything, I'd sue them to re-compensate for the money you put into it. But do not sell, you worked so hard on this property. Don't let the greedy oil company take it from you.
YOU NEED LEGAL COUNSELING WITH HUGE KNOWLEDGE IN THIS FIELD. Someone knew this and sold you a bill of goods. Evil people in this world and you have just encountered them. How cruel !!! Don't let people who say they have mineral rights decide your future ! I am furious.
By law if they have not pumped those wells in twelve months they're considered abandoned by federal law
Who in the hell would buy it, how could they offer a problem to anyone else without disclosing all they have found out. Just because they were duped into buying domain property doesn’t make it okay to sell it to some other people without disclosure. Research people, if you see unusual things on a piece of land you potentially want to buy, dig deeper and question more about that property, including going to the court house, state department, know the law that’s in your favor! It’s really a shame in so many ways, nothing and nobody is a winner here. So who sent out the officer by the way with all this information? Did you even say that? I’m not sure you did 🤷♀️🤷♀️. Laws in this country are for corporations not we the people! By the way, they don’t care Danielle how much you did or what you must leave behind or what it costs you, hell a lot of people have their homes and property under the damn water because it was taken from them! Sorry, it’s a travesty, I consider it a crime against honest people just trying to make a life.
Wow! What kind of title search was done? Seems you should have been told by the title company about the property having an Oil Company that has license to use your property…. What a bummer! Sounds like a law suit regarding clearance of the title companies in Oklahoma! This is horrible!
Title search would have revealed all of this.
WOW! DANG IT YALL! SORRY TO HEAR THAT.
Fair winds and calm seas make for a boring journey. Hope everything works out for you.
It’s all about the 6 Ps :- Perfect, Planning, Prevents, Piss, poor, Product. We all live and learn it’s not been the same since his brother left.
I think its Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance
Always confirm important information in writing cause people will tell you want they think you need to make your decision. Here in New Zealand a realtor can be sued if they give you wrong information or don’t make you aware of issues relevant to your purchase such as oil wells or boundaries etc
Did the title company inform you about these easements? It's really the title company and not the realtors burden.
I agree with Arthur! If that dies, Your houses can be moved, and the whole land plan can be redone, using the easement knowledge! DO IT RIGHT THIS TIME!
Hello
Yall keep it up great channel! My wife and I just bought 51 acres about a year ago and have no idea what we are doing but its moving along. This channel I stumbled upon while doing research for solar power using Bluetti and it helped thanks!
Sounds like you took somebody’s word for a lot of the information that you say someone told you. Where’s your title insurance? Did you not go the the records office of the county and research the property for liens or easements on the property especially since you stated several times in the video this land was abandoned and you knew this ahead of purchasing the property and who holds the loan on this property. Sounds like someone took you to the cleaners.
All I can say is WOW!! Sending good vibes you get it figured out soon.
Such a restriction, easement or withheld mineral rights should be on your deed. Check it. Did you handle this purchase transaction through a title company? Did you get title insurance? Their title commitment, which you should have received prior to closing, would iterate all of this as a result of their title search, which is the first thing done after opening escrow. You would have received the actual title policy after closing. Check your title documents first because if you have title insurance and this is not stated on there, they may not have a claim and the title company will handle it via the title policy. Otherwise you may need an attorney to help you actually see if they have a claim as you were told. If you do not have title insurance, that is lesson #1. Never buy any kind of property without it. A survey is the #2 most important thing to do as well. I've worked in real estate & title insurance in several states, but not Oklahoma. Is there a state law that allows this, but doesn't have to state so on land deeds? Those are the questions that come to my mind immediately. I would definitely halt any further investment there until you know exactly what you own or don't own. I wouldn't be taking the word of some dude who just stopped by a year after you moved in. Good luck! I'm rooting for you guys!
Electric companies determine where to insert a line (poles & wires) based on their thorough review of the title of the land and what current easements and restrictions there may be. That's why they talk to neighbors because they have to get their written permission for an easement to be placed on their land even for a single pole or ground wire that may have to go on their property. Hard to fathom that the electric company never mentioned any of this and routed their easement on top of a supposed current easement or right. You can also go to the Recorder's office in your county and ask to see anything that is filed of record against that property. It's all public records and they are always very helpful.
I would make the tiny house completely off grid and use it during emergencies when the electricity goes out. Then do a home with electricity where you know there is no problems.
I also live in Oklahoma and on property that is on an oil field you need to pull a building permit to the State fire Marshal if you ever want to be able to obtain a certificate of occupancy. I'm dealing with this same issue and I'm on a 6 month wait list
So sorry to hear of this, I have had a quick look and found Mahaffey & Gore, they are attorneys who deal specifically with Oil & Gas including titles, mineral rights etc. Maybe worth getting in touch.
click bait bullshit, you can have power it just not going as you thought it would. its going to take some negotiations or a wider birth from the road or maybe just solar now. omg lets sell, lol. I love all of these diy/homesteader youtube stuff but the click bait is becoming unbearable. why cant you either make good content or just go away? businesses fail all the time. so many other channels diversify and keep going. if you cant do that well pack up shop.
TLDR: officer showed up and told us something our title company already told us before be actually bought the property but lets still scam our viewers into watching us lie
Too bad the rest of these people can't see it.
Stand your ground part 2: You do have a better game with going off grid and getting a thorough EPA evaluation of the hazards presented by the “abandoned “ oil wells. You know that if they didn’t maintain the access road and clearly mark the locations of all the places they drilled, then for sure they have not been properly maintaining those wells. I’m not sure this is a good time to sell, especially under this new cloud. Think LOOONG term... as in Rip Van Winkle.
An easement means both can use it per the plat, give them key access
We live on a lease road that we own the property under!
The oil Field people are blowing smoke
Property owners this is a good lesson before building. Do your due diligence! Save time & money. Best wishes for what comes next.
IF IT'S BEEN ABANDONED FOR 7 YEARS YOU GET AUTOMATICALLY POSESION...CALL YOUR ATTORNEY...
And they couldn't tell you this before you bought the property??
I would be going off on that real estate agent, for not disclosing that info.
@@marinellroberts6028 I'd be suing the restate agent for not disclosing that information.
Hi Jason and Daniel. Somebody and not you had to be responsible for you not having that information. I am from Canada and things are different but there must be some one you can go after🤔. With that mess I would sell and get out of there. I would not want that oil easement over my head. I feel really bad for you guys but your young enough to move on and start over. I really hope something or some one can help you with this. Good luck!! 👍👍👍👍🇨🇦
You're an Okie, I would keep the place. We hope you don't give up and we don't walk around it to do what you have to do to make it proper and legal!
$10,000 to hook up to the grid. You need to check into solar battery bank options. With a generator back up.
