Fast v. Fast

The opinion of the court was delivered by This is a dispute over an undivided one-twelfth (1/12) interest
in the oil, gas and other minerals underlying a half-section of
land in Reno County. Appellees, plaintiffs below, were granted
summary judgment quieting their title to a collective
five/eighths (5/8) interest in the undivided one-twelfth (1/12)
as against the defendants, who have appealed. The basic issue is whether a deed conveying real estate by
surface description, with no qualifying, reserving or excepting
language, conveys the grantor's interest in the underlying
minerals when there has previously been a severance of the
mineral estate.
