This may apply in Indiana. I am digging through the "codes" website and have not found it yet, but we had a "Quit Claim" deed overturned on the rule, "Once a cemetery, always a cemetery". A farmer who owned land around the 3/4 acre cemetery filed the Quit Claim deed to gain control of the property. I may have to hunt up the former Township Attorney to find out how he had it reversed. I'll keep digging, let you know what I find. Ernoe At 07:52 AM 02/04/2002 -0800, you wrote: > We have built into the law that cemeteries may NOT be taken through > adverse possession. >Andrea D.

Here's one: If the cemetery could be legally claimed by a town, township or a county under cemetery laws, this applies: IC 32-1-20-2 Sec. 2. Title to real property owned by the state or a political subdivision (as defined in IC 36-1-2-13) may not be alienated by adverse possession. As added by P.L.289-1985, SEC.1. Amended by P.L.86-1998, SEC.1. Ernie
