    Hey..

    just came across something interesting today. A member of my family purchased a grave plot a few years ago in Palmerstown and the person who's name it's in has died. My family member tried to get the plot put back into her name (she's next of kin) but Palmerstown said that they cant do this because the person who owns the Plot has died.. so nobody owns it now!.. and there's nothing that can be done. It's just lying there. We've a felling there is something in the clause that will give owernship back to Palmerstown after a certain number of years, thus.. allowing them to take it and sell it onto someone else for €6000

    We wanted to allow the child of a family friend who has recently died to have the plot..they wanted to bury their daughter in Palmerstown but cant get a plot.. sp we offered this plot to them.. but now cant transfer it over because the person who needs to give permission has died.

    This is the biggest load of **** I've ever come across in my life and just wondered if anyone has come across this before?

    Plots can no longer purchased in advance of death here in Cork, dunno about the rest of the country. Did the deceased's estate not deal with the matter of the plot?

    I'm assuming there's a residuary clause in the will, whoever that is directed towards will get the plot unless dealt with in the will

    This is, unless there is a clause in the original contract preventing such a transfer

    Not being smart here but am I missing something? If the person whos name its in has died are they not already in it?

    Try contacting the Council that is in charge of the area. They normally run graveyards and might be able to help more than the staff working at the Graveyard.

    They can bury coffins 4 deep, or 3-4 wide, could be room for more.

    Yeah but unless the same person dies 4 times then there will be different peopel other than the named owner in the grave, so who ends up in the plot shouldnt really matter.

    that person has obviously been cremated or buried in a different plot and this plot now remains in limbo without a legal owner?
