Such a shock to read about Matt especially at such a young age. I'm Lost for words really as l've got a son not far off his age so some of the comments here about putting things in order have certainly made me stop and think.
Happy to help Dale where I can, I don't think he was a TAG holder so difficult to know which are his without checking whois, which is not something I'd usually do.
If the family wanted to realise the value quickly, then maybe DomainLore auctions might be a way as it would be a real shame to see some good names drop.

Ive pm'd the prss csv over Dale. If any one else needs please PM me. Only folks with good reason please.
Very sad news, my condolences go out to his family.
Do Nominet have any systems in place which would allow the domains of someone who has passed away to be transferred to next of kin or at least prevented from dropping until the family has time to decide what to do with them.

Very sad news Rest in peace Matt.
Matt had been a founder member of Acorn and the Drop-catcher forum before that.
Never meet him in person but he was always very helpful to members and was very surprised that he was only 29, Great to see people rallying round in a positive manner to help secure his domains and help his family.

Thanks Chris. PM sent. Thanks Dave also. Let's see what we can do if Nominet can't help.
Looking as his Signature - http://www.acorndomains.co.uk/members/devolution.html
champange.co.uk dropped.
mobileconnection.co.uk registered under "devolution".
So might be best to PRSS "devolution" too.

I didn't know Matt but did learn from his posts here. Shocked that he's gone at such a young age and my thoughts go out to his family and loved ones. RIP.

OMG I'm shocked too, he has been here since the start.
My step-Mum dropped down dead a week ago, no sign of anything wrong, just went. Aged 63.
RIP to you both.

Had a couple of Pms in regards to my earlier post: For clarification it's champange (common typo) not champagne.
It gets a nice steady trickle of traffic though and was previously bid up to £100 on domainlore, but the auction winner never paid. Hopefully it will make something similar when re-auctioned.

As consideration (not only this instance), could it be possible that any proceeds go to the "Estate".

If nominet can't do anything, I'd be glad to try and help in any way I can.
RIP Matt

Sorry to hear that, and about Matt's untimely death as well. I'd dealt with him a couple of times in the past
