Legal Question in Business Law in California

I need to sell two burial plots, located in a Catholic Archdioses cemetery. They have appreciated in value much, since we bought them. But, the management (actually a private Canadian company) wants us to sell back to them on the cheap so they can make the profit. Can they refuse to allow our transfer to a third party, sale or gift? This is in California. Thanks!

This would depend on the terms of your agreement with them. My advice would be to have an attorney review the terms of your purchase agreement.

That depends. What did you (or whoever purchased the plots before you got them) agree to? If the sales contract says the plots can't be re-sold to third parties, then you are probably bound by that language. You might not be, though, depending upon how the agreement was written and what may have happened since the agreement was signed. You should meet with a lawyer to discuss your situation in more detail.
