Description
This appeal concerns the nature and effect of a timber deed conveying cutting rights for a period of years. The question raised is to whom the uncut timber belongs after the expiration of the specified period when, prior to the expiration, the grantor failed to pay real property taxes on the land and the county foreclosed on "land only." During this time the grantee of the cutting rights paid taxes on his interest as required by law. The Court of Appeals held that upon expiration of the cutting rights period the uncut timber belonged to the current owner of the fee, purchaser from the county. We affirm for reasons stated herein.
