Assign

Deed, Privilege, Heirs and Assigns

From the book The Clergyman’s Hand-book of Law, about Deed, Privilege, Heirs and Assigns (1): No formal deed is necessary to confer exclusive right to the use of a cemetery lot for burial purposes.779 And certificates of lots issued by a corporation convey no title to the land, as they are not in the form necessary to constitute a conveyance of land. Their only effect is to grant the privilege of interment so long as the ground continues to be used for the purposes of burial.780 A deed of a cemetery lot “to him, his heirs, and assigns forever,” gives only an easement in the freehold, and does not give title to the soil, and is subject to changes made necessary by altered circumstances.781
