Q: Cemetery sale question
Cemetery is now saying I cannot sell the vault and that they only have to give me what is was worth back in 1978. This is what the contract says, can they do this?

A: Based on the above contract language, it would appear you have the right to sell to whomever. If the contract also has an attorney's fees provision, you might be able to get an attorney to take your case and send a nasty letter to them to get them to comply with the terms of the contract.
