Hi Susanne,
I had our City Attorney look over the QuitClaim Deed. She is not willing to accept it because it
was not part of the estate. She stated that since the estate was done in 1977, you will need to
go back through the courts and have a judge sign off on this transfer. Your attorney should be
able to help you with this. Our attorney states it is not a difficult process but something that
will need to be done in order for us to accept it.
Unfortunately, many people often forget to include cemetery lots as an asset and they get left
out of the estate closing.
Feel free to contact me with any questions. Thank you.

Hi Susanne,
I wasn't able to print any of the scans you sent. They were too big. I can have the quit claim
deed reviewed but as I stated in the office, there may need to be proof of all the statements
you gave such as Ralph being named personal representative. I thought you mentioned you
had all the paper work to prove each of those statements. Anyway, I am not sure how soon I
can have her look at it but I will be in touch as soon as I can. If you could rescan those
documents differently and/or send anything you might have giving Ralph the authority as
personal representative that would be helpful.

I will be in touch once I talk with the attorney. Thank you.

Here is the draft for the City Attorney's review. Attached is the burial plot for our family and my grandpa's birth
certificate. I called the cemetery and we can bury someone who chooses to be cremated in a space with a traditionally
buried relative, thus why we are requesting transfer of all 12 plots, not just the empty spaces. Let me know if this will
work and I will get it signed and recorded. Thank you.
