How are they a heraldic heir -- residuary legatee in a real-world
will?

Why would they notify Laurel they are the POC as heraldic heirs?
Heraldic inheritance is an heir-driven process; as far as I can see,
they can tell Laurel then.

Also, Laurel does not control real-world wills, so they may not be the
residuary legatee at the time of death.  So Laurel would have to get
evidence at that time anyway.

You can't inherit a larger count, but did you know that the limits
were raised from 4 to 6 a little while ago?  (That is, six names + six
pieces of armory for everything but an SCA branch that has a
ceremonial head.)  Does that help?

Would they really want to transfer the personal names?
