Who is responsible for receiving past oil and gas royalties post-foreclosure?

The purchaser of the foreclosed property is responsible for receiving past oil and gas royalties post-foreclosure. Once a property is foreclosed and sold, the new owner takes on certain rights associated with that property, including any financial interests like oil and gas royalties that may have been previously tied to the land. This means that if there are unpaid royalties from periods before the foreclosure, they would typically be directed to the new owner, as they are now the holder of the rights associated with the land assets.

In the context of property law, the foreclosure process alters ownership but not the underlying resource rights unless specifically stated otherwise during the proceedings. Therefore, any revenue that was generated from the oil and gas production before the foreclosure would be paid to the new owner, who may now manage the property and any associated resources. The other parties mentioned, such as the county treasurer, original mortgagor, and lien holder, do not maintain the right to collect those royalties post-sale, as their interests have either been settled, extinguished, or transferred through the foreclosure process.
