Answer:
Typically, when a cemetery plot is fully paid, a deed will be issued to the new owner and recorded in the recorder's office of the county where the property is located. At that time, the ownership becomes a matter of public record. Prior to the time the deed is issued, the purchase is a matter of business records and generally must be ordered to be produced through a court proceeding. For example, is a breach of contract lawsuit, a party may request an opposing party to deliver documents through a discovery tool called a request for production.
