| changing Section 16 as follows:
| 6 |
| (765 ILCS 835/16)
| 7 |
| Sec. 16. When a multiple interment right owner becomes | 8 |
| deceased, the
ownership of any
unused rights of interment shall | 9 |
| pass in accordance with the specific bequest
in the decedent's | 10 |
| will. If there is no will or specific bequest then the | 11 |
| ownership and use
of the unused rights of interment shall be | 12 |
| determined by a cemetery authority
in
accordance with the | 13 |
| information set out on a standard affidavit for cemetery
| 14 |
| interment rights use form if such a form has been prepared. The | 15 |
| unused right
of interment shall be
used for the interment of | 16 |
| the first
deceased heir listed on the standard affidavit and | 17 |
| continue in sequence until
all listed heirs are deceased. In | 18 |
| the event that an interment right is not
used,
the interment | 19 |
| right shall pass to the heirs of the heirs of the deceased
| 20 |
| interment right owner in perpetuity. Except as otherwise | 21 |
| provided in this Section, this
This shall not preclude the | 22 |
| ability of
the heirs to sell said interment rights, in the | 23 |
| event that all listed living
heirs are in agreement. A living | 24 |
| heir with vested rights to a cemetery plot or mausoleum crypt | 25 |
| may give or convey his or her inherited plot or crypt to the | 26 |
| spouse, child, or legal dependent of another living heir | 27 |
| without the agreement or consent of the other listed heirs. If | 28 |
| the standard affidavit for cemetery interment
rights use, | 29 |
| showing heirship of decedent
interment right owner's living | 30 |
| heirs is provided to and followed by a cemetery
authority, the
| 31 |
| cemetery authority shall be released of any liability in | 32 |
| relying on that
affidavit.
