If I purchased property in La. over 10 years ago without mineral rights, what do I do to reclaim them now?

Answer 1

Find out who owns them and offer to purchase them from the owner. Your local tax assessor might be a good starting point for determining the owner.

In most states where mineral rights can be sold separately from the property, the mineral rights were probably sold off long ago.

Answer 2

Talk to an attorney locally. He can best advise you on what to do.
