What to do?

We have had a cemetery plot passed onto us by our mother prior to her passing away.

She passed away not too long ago.

Since then we have received a letter from the local government advising that they made an error in transfer this plot to her 10 years prior and that they shouldn’t have then passed it onto us.

They wrote to us saying that they were going to change it so 1/2 would be with 1 party and the other 1/2 would be with us. We were upset and asked "How could they do this to us?" Now they are changing it again, so we have nothing in our name at all and need permission from other relatives to use it.

They admit to making mistakes and now if we take it further we have to pay a barrister AUD00 to advise on what to do prior to a court hearing!

What would you do?

We have a purchased headstone for the person that recently passed away and now we feel like we are being ripped off! :(

    1. Estate and burial scams quite common. Though you must first pay the expense, if you pay the barrister, he should be able to also get some damages for you in addition to compensation or resolution. At the very least he should be able to get your "Court Costs" back.

      Good luck…
