Unclaimed money and property reported to the states for safekeeping have been recorded for the past 50 and possibly 60 years.

We suggest that you contact your state unclaimed property division where the burial plot was purchased to find out if it is listed as unclaimed property. |

Unclaimed Money and Property Time Limits
Depending on the type of property that you are tracking, such as burial plots mentioned in the previous paragraph, it is possible that this type of property was sold at an unclaimed property auction held by the government of that state.
Assuming that the documents that were found had enough identifying information to be able to claim the property if found, it is highly unlikely because unclaimed money and property wasn't being recorded until 40 or 50 years after the purchase of the said property.
