AN ACT concerning civil law.
|
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
represented in the General Assembly:
|
Section 5. The Cemetery Protection Act is amended by |
changing Section 16 as follows:
|
(765 ILCS 835/16)
|
Sec. 16. When a multiple interment right owner becomes |
deceased, the
ownership of any
unused rights of interment shall |
pass in accordance with the specific bequest
in the decedent's |
will. If there is no will or specific bequest then the |
ownership and use
of the unused rights of interment shall be |
determined by a cemetery authority
in
accordance with the |
information set out on a standard affidavit for cemetery
|
interment rights use form if such a form has been prepared. The |
unused right
of interment shall be
used for the interment of |
the first
deceased heir listed on the standard affidavit and |
continue in sequence until
all listed heirs are deceased. In |
the event that an interment right is not
used,
the interment |
right shall pass to the heirs of the heirs of the deceased
|
interment right owner in perpetuity. Except as otherwise |
provided in this Section, this
This shall not preclude the |
ability of
the heirs to sell said interment rights, in the |
event that all listed living
heirs are in agreement, and it |
shall not preclude the ability of a 2/3 majority of the living |
heirs to sell a specific interment right to the spouse of a |
living or deceased heir. If the standard affidavit for cemetery |
interment
rights use, showing heirship of decedent
interment |
right owner's living heirs is provided to and followed by a |
cemetery
authority, the
cemetery authority shall be released of |
any liability in relying on that
affidavit.
