Didn't want to read this all the way through...sorry! But, I wanted to mention a little piece of knowledge that I have knocking around in the old brain.

I've been working A LOT with the estates of both my grandmother and my great aunt. This is my first experience with estates but has been a vivid one and I must say...

The best thing for a family to do, honestly, is to bury the property with the member. While it is not unreasonable to bequeath a badge to another member, a chapter or return it to the national org, there's a lot of legal mess that ensues over even the tiniest thing. Avoid the mess, bury the badge!
