My understanding is unless they have legal ownership (or power of
attorney) they cannot sign over an item. You can get into some problems
if you are accepting items without the written authority of the owner.

Frequently at my Museum, donors will have friends drop objects off.
These
friends do not own the object or have any claim to it, yet staff have
them let
sign paperwork.  Registration staff here has been fairly successful in
having
staff use loan forms instead of acquisition forms for all incoming
items.  My
question is this:  What are the implications of having individuals
other than
the owners sign loan forms?
