So a 1901 ticket can be transferred to a family member if someone dies , even thou the holder of the ticket hasn’t specified who that ticket would go to. That would be up to the next of kin?
Hmm. Now I understand your angle. The agreement contains no clauses for the member to cancel, and there are no clauses on death. Therefore, legally, I believe the deceased member's estate would assume the responsibility for the rest of the contract, and thereby accrue the benefits of the contract too. Under the circumstances where the deceased member had a will, the executor would have to deal with it; where the deceased member dies intestate, then, yes, it would fall to the next of kin. imo, obviously.
Again, one would hope that the club would do the decent thing and take the ticket back if that was what was wished.
