How are they a heraldic heir -- residuary legatee in a real-world
will?As the surviving spouse, yes.  As a surviving child, no.  They are, however, the only surviving child active in the SCA.

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?Yes, I did about the higher limit.  The father was a Society herald and registered the maximum number of armorial items of the time for himself and members of the family.
Would they really want to transfer the personal names?There are surviving children/grandchildren.  The heir wants them to have the possibility of inheriting nearly identicle names
