FAQ
There are a few licenses and permits you'll need to start a cemetery. You'll need a business license, a cemetery license, and a permit to bury human remains. You may also need a zoning permit, depending on where you plan to locate your cemetery.
Texas' automatic right of interment states that the plots pass first to your surviving spouse, otherwise to your children on a first come, first need basis and then finally to your heirs at law.
Also assume that 1 acre can contain 1,000 gravesites (a rule of thumb is that between 800 and 1,200 gravesites will fit on an acre).
There are no laws that prohibit home burial. You must check local zoning laws before establishing a home cemetery or burying on private land. It is legally required to hire a Funeral Director to handle certain parts of the funeral.
How to Transfer Ownership of a Burial Plot Step 1 – Get the Deed From the Cemetery. Step 2 – Review the State and Local Laws. Step 3 – Prove You Are the Current Owner. Step 4 – Fill Out the Cemetery Plot Deed Transfer Form. Step 5 – Complete the Transfer and Get the New Deed.
If you or your family own and live on a large area of land, creating a family cemetery may be relatively straightforward, but even so it still requires permissions from local governments.
If someone dies without a will, it doesn't mean that probate isn't required. Many estates will need estate administration, especially when dealing with large assets, numerous debts, or family disputes. Simpler procedures may be available for smaller and less complex estates.
When there is no will, the person is considered to have died "intestate." Every state has intestacy laws that determine what happens to the property. In Texas, the surviving spouse and children will usually inherit all probate assets.
If a will is not probated in Texas, the estate remains unsettled, and the assets cannot be legally transferred to the intended beneficiaries. This can lead to significant complications, especially when it comes to real estate or other titled property.
An affidavit of heirship can be used when someone dies without a will, and the estate consists mostly of real property titled in the deceased's name. It is an affidavit used to identify the heirs to real property when the deceased died without a will (that is, intestate).
