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!

Some lawyers offer free initial brief consultation in order to see if you have any avenues they can pursue, so contact a lot of them before considering paying anyone. You might be able to get good initial advice for free.
If they say you DO have a case, make notes on what course of action they suggest, you may be able to even accomplish it yourself. Sometimes it’s worth paying for professional help, othertimes you can do it yourself, with just some trips to a courthouse and some phone calls.
