This is just hypothetical.

Lets say that you had a relative pass away and you ended up with a bunch of old hand written letters passed down from a grandparent or great grand parent. Could you publish those and what would the legal ramifications be?

How about if the letters were written by someone who is still living but then mailed them to someone that has passed away and you received them being handed down from someone that had passed away?

Then does it change if you get into the digital realm of emails?

what about PMs on a social media site?

These are just some things that my wife and I were talking about yesterday, and I wondered what the brain trust would say.
