Description

If the minerals have been severed from the surface of lands, with the mineral estate, in many states, being the dominate estate, the mineral owner has the right to make use of as much of the surface as is reasonably necessary to develop those minerals. If the minerals have been leased, and the surface owner desires the lessee not to enter on specific lands, the surface owner may obtain a subordination from the mineral lessee to that effect. This form addresses that situation. Ohio Subordination by Lessee of Right to Use All or Part of Surface Estate is a legal agreement recognized in the State of Ohio. This agreement allows a lessee (the party leasing the land) to subordinate their right to use the surface estate of the property to another party. When a lessee subordinates their right to use the surface estate, they are essentially allowing another party, such as a landowner or another lessee, to have priority over their use of the land. This can occur in various situations, such as when a lessee wants to grant permission for a different lessee or landowner to access the surface estate for drilling, mining, construction, or any other activity that requires surface access. By subordinating their right, the lessee is essentially giving up their priority in using the surface estate for the benefit of another party. This subordination is typically recorded as a legal document and serves as evidence that the lessee has willingly agreed to the arrangement.

Types of Ohio Subordination by Lessee of Right to Use All or Part of Surface Estate: 1. Temporary Subordination: This type of subordination occurs when the lessee agrees to temporarily give up their right to use the surface estate to another party. It could be for a specified period or until a specific condition is met. For example, if a lessee requires additional time to drill a well, they may temporarily subordinate their right to use the surface estate to another lessee for a limited duration. 2. Permanent Subordination: In contrast to temporary subordination, this type of subordination is a long-term or permanent arrangement. The lessee relinquishes their right to use the surface estate permanently, often in favor of the landowner or another party, such as a conservation group. This may occur when the lessee no longer requires access to the surface estate or wishes to transfer their rights to another party. 3. Partial Subordination: This type of subordination occurs when the lessee restricts their right to use only a portion of the surface estate. For example, a lessee engaged in oil and gas exploration might limit their access to certain areas of the land, reserving other sections for agricultural purposes. This allows the landowner to make use of the excluded parts of the surface estate while the lessee continues their operation in the designated areas. 4. Multiple Lessee Subordination: When multiple lessees are involved, they may agree to subordinate their rights to use the surface estate collectively. This type of subordination ensures that the surface estate is efficiently managed to accommodate the needs of all lessees involved. It simplifies the process by having a single agreement rather than individual subordination, promoting better coordination and resource optimization. In Ohio, Subordination by Lessee of Right to Use All or Part of Surface Estate provides a structured legal framework for managing land use rights and allows for mutually beneficial arrangements among parties involved in land leasing and development activities.
