I sold a portion of property and retained mineral. Quite a few years later, while I was incarcerated, the new owner had the coal removed without my knowledge. I received no notice or payments. Tje.coal was owned by another person and I resumed all royalties on any removed per my deed. This was, I am told, in 2006. HOWEVER, I was just made aware of this 3 weeks ago. Do I have a right using the "Discovery of Harm" clause to file a lawsuit against her for the royalties I should have received from the property? There was a large amt. Of coal there . I Had no knowledge that the COAL had been removed. She did not have a permit for that piece of property, but for a different piece of property in a.different township. I knew the griund had been landscaped and a house built on it, but until a friend mentioned the coal removal in casual co versation, it I had no idea. What can I do? THE royalties are prob. What built the house. ADVICE, PLEASE
