<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">but seeing this happen
twice in less than 3 years scares me off (although the other domain was
with different registrar)</p>

<p style="margin-bottom: 0cm; margin-top: 0pt;">what might be possible
to secure the domains of dead people to their heirs in future for other
registrars?</p>

many
other registrars how to protect domains. This is a far cry from the

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;"><font color="black"
face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">its
that simple at NSI to
change domain ownership with fake IDs? <br>
<br>
it should be harder for american registrant to be faked at american
registrars
due the easier methods to identify ownership?<br>
