I think often the problem is that the owner doesn't have any family or local friends who have enough interest to turn it over to. Maybe we could set up a system within NAFEX where a member could advertize that they want to turn it over to a resource or (better) several resources (I say more than one is better, as a single recipient, even if they believe they are interested, may cause a failure in the turnover just because of number of reasons.
I'm not sure of the best way to go about this however.
Take care.
