(A) Descent of cemetery lots. Descent of title and ownership of lots in case of death shall be subject to M.S. § 525.14.
(B) Lot transfers. The only regular and legal proof of title by descent from a deceased owner is a certified copy of the decree of the proper probate court assigning the lot of the deceased owner, or his or her interest in it, to the person claiming it. Whenever practicable, this proof will be required. If for any reason this proof cannot be obtained, application should at once be made upon the death of the lot owner to the cemetery to ensure the records show the lot owner as the proper living person.
(C) Consent of city. No transfer or assignment of any lot, or interest therein, shall be valid until the consent of the city has been obtained. The city may refuse to consent to a transfer or to an assignment as long as there is any indebtedness due the city from the record lot owner, including any fees charged for the transfer or assignment.
