When a registrant dies
Terms and Conditions Clause 18 currently states:
If you are an individual, this contract will end if you die and the person legally appointed to deal with your assets after you die does not transfer the domain name (either to themselves or someone else) within a year of your death (or the end of their appointment, whichever comes first).
Regards

Mind you if it's bulk it's only £70 so it's not a lot, just the wife would have enough to think about at the time of a funeral, just goes to show you should get those wills written.

"The signatures for Transferor and Transferee must be from different people." ??

Shock horror... but even Nominet understands that a dead person can't sign a form. So I would hazard a wild guess that they'd do what they do in the case of a sole director of a limited company who wants to transfer a domain name owned by the company to himself. The one party can sign for both.

Or would it be acceptable, at the time of making your will, to sign a transfer authorisation and leave that with your Solicitor who could action it at the appropriate time and send it to Nominet with the beneficiary's signature/acceptance attached?

If you leave no will then you die "intestate" which is a whole subject in itself... It's not as simple as "next of kin", it all depends on what relatives you have.
Look it up on Google to see who'll be getting all your domains

Thanks, James, I'll be very interested to know as I have a lot of domains (including the family name) that I'd want to "leave" to the kids, and to be truthful I'd not thought about the legal transfer implications until this thread started.
