Dagnabit, that'll teach me to check the links first #@%*#*@%.

Cliff notes version....

All major carriers but Northwest let you bequeath FF miles.

American & US Airways charge $50 to transfer the miles.

All carriers that allow transfers require documentation - death certificate, will, etc.

Writer was given erroneous information initially by US Airways DM Desk.
