Can a group create a heraldic will such that if the group ever goes defunct then it can will its armory to specified members of the populace or other groups?  Just curious.   I do know that by default if a group goes defunct that the name and armory reverts to the kingdom.

No need to be snippy - I misread 'device' where you wrote 'armory'.
Given that 'armory includes both devices and badges, it is still worth
noting that the branch -device- couldn't be transferred, even if
badges could be.

It would be interesting to see if Laurel would even accept such a
heraldic will, though personally, I'd think it was presumptuous and
tacky.  What's the harm in letting the kingdom hold onto them?  They
can't be released without some significant work.
