IF there is a well on patent land, should the operator be notified the same as if it was on any other piece of land?

What if the land had been parceled off to other owners?

How can someone purchase patent land? I thought it could not be sold.

Someone wants to sell a relative of mine a piece of patent land, which has a well on it?

Would my relative be alright to purchase?

I am confused.

The patent is when the land is initial severed from the lands of the USA into private hands. IT is where all legal title in this contry begins.

A relative of mine was going to buy a piece of land, where the owner was bragging that it was patent land. The relative didn't know what patent land was, so he asked a friend of his and the friend told him, he wouldn't purchase it because of some kind of issues where he wouldn't really own the land. So in the end the relative decided not to purchase it.

He really needs to go to a Real Estate/Title Attorney and get an answer to this question. I agree with The Baron. Its the beginning of private ownership.

Wikipedia says:

An official land patent is the highest evidence of righttitle, or interest to a specifically defined tract of land; usually granted by a centralfederal, or state government to an individual or private company.

Besides patent, other terms for the certificate that grants such rights include first-title deed and final certificate. In the United States, all land can be traced back to the respective land patent, to first title deed and to claims that document titles for land originally owned by FranceSpainUnited KingdomMexicoRussia, or Native Americans.
