Q: Who has the right to a cemetery plot-purchaser or person given plot as a gift and whose name deed is in?
A:
Possession is indicated by whose name is on the deed. If the land/plot was bought by someone and given as a gift to someone else, the gift was complete upon delivery of the deed and putting in the other's name. if the purchaser changed his/her mind later, too bad. A gift is a gift.
Of course, you do not provide very many facts here. My advice is premised on what you have stated. The addition of more detail could affect the answer.
I don't know very many people who give cemetery lots as gifts. There is a whole lot going on here - like why would someone do this? Why isn't the purchaser's name on the deeds? Why does the purchaser now want the lots back?
