Hi Everyone, My name is Jeannie and several years ago while my aunt and I were visiting in Oakland County, we found out that the family owned 12 unused lots in one cemetery and 3 in another. No one in the family knew anything about these lots and I live in California. My aunt and I were staying with friends who lived in Drayton Plains at the time and I happened to mention this to the man of the house. My aunt and I decided to collect the necessary papers to prove the ownership of these lots, which we did. After a few years I received a call early one morning from the man I mentioned earlier. He was interested in buying all 12 of the lots in the one cemetery. Between my aunt and myself we had gotten the necessary birth, death and marriage certificates, contacted the living relatives that we could find and sold the lots in about a week. Selling the other three lots took a while longer but since they had been bought by my grandfather, there weren't so many relatives to contact. Through an ad in the paper and the help of a cousin living in Troy, we finally sold the three lots. All in all it was quite a nice sum of money and the relatives were pleasantly surprised to get the checks. It is definitely worth the effort to sell the lots if at all possible. Jeannie in California
