Who are the lawful owners?
Frankly, I’m NOT absolutely sure who the ACTUAL owners of the monuments on Monument Ave are BUT the officially Registered Agent of the owners is a law firm in Petersburg, VA.
(It is my BELIEF that the statues & the land, upon which they were erected, NOW belongs jointly to The VA Society of THE UNITED DAUGHTERS OF THE CONFEDERACY & The VA Division of THE SONS OF CONFEDERATE VETERANS.)
At the time that the land was purchased & the statues were erected, the land/statues were the SOLE property of The VA Division of THE UNITED CONFEDERATE VETERANS.
(When the UCV members were so elderly/infirm as to NOT be able to care for their property, they deeded the land/statues jointly to the UDC & SCV for the sum of ONE Dollar, with the requirement that the 2 groups would FOREVER KEEP & CARE FOR the monuments/land.)
Note: The UCV members, as the time of the change of ownership of the land/statues, provided that IF at some future date that the UDC & SCV ceased to exist that the land & improvements thereto would revert jointly to the nearest living blood relatives of the membership of the UCV Camp of Richmond, VA.
Further, IF there were NO living relatives of the former members of the UCV that the statues/land would be “Given jointly & in perpetuity to the elementary school children of The Commonwealth of VA.”
(ALL of the various provisions of the various documents state that the land & statues could NEVER be sold, leased, rented, removed, “utilized for any other purpose than memorializing the CSA War Dead” and/or be demolished.)
