Re: Donation return requet
Got Documentation?
Paraphrasing the milk commercials may be a bit silly, but it's Thursday & I
didn't get enough sleep last night. Anyway, check through your files & see
if you have a deed of gift or some record of the donation. I don't
recommend being strictly legal about it unless you have to - no reason to
start a fight. You should, however, have as much support for your position
as possible, in the event the daughter makes a stink.
I don't know what the true legal position is, but I imagine that without a
significant indication that the mother wanted the book returned to her
family, 30 years is long enough to say it's yours.
