I was going to say the same thing - for many gifts the PastPerfect temporary custody receipt can be relied on as a transfer of rights.

Our temp custody form (via Past Perfect) has a box regarding donation and disposal that they can check off. While not a lawyer, I think it could qualify as title transfer in a pinch. I'd still try to find a relative or executor, though.

Christine,
Our museum has been dealing with this problem as well. We were advised
by our attorney to find either next-of-kin or an executor to sign a deed
of gift for us. So far we have been reasonably lucky in accomplishing
this. Not sure if Wisconsin's laws are different but you may wish to
check.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Deed of Gift Conundrum
Looking for advice and suggestions for an accession conundrum. We have a
number of artifacts that have Temporary Receipts but no Deeds of Gift
and the donors' have since passed away. Any suggestions on how to handle
this?
Thanks,
