As an off shoot of the recent query about returning donated items, I am now rethinking how to do an upcoming deed of gift and looking for wisdom. I will soon be receiving an item from a family that has previously donated manuscript materials and photographs related to their great-grandfather, a local business owner. The new object was in the home of a woman who passed and the home is being sold which prompted a conversation about the object. There are 12 cousins/grandchildren to the object's owner. I had planned to do the deed of gift with the executor of the estate/woman selling the home but should I include more family members?
