Hi Community Pros,

Couldn't find an exact precedent for comparison so here's a new thread:

I have a deceased donor who was an alum of our university. His son has attempted to make a large gift toward the family's scholarship in the father's name, with the father's address, and only using his own (the son's) email address. I was able to trace it back to the son, knowing the family personally, but where would the hard credit go? Further, at this point there's a processing error I have to help with so may have to explain things to the donor('s son).

Thanks for any context you can provide!

It's an online gift so I assume it was a credit card -- and since he used the father's name and address, it seems the owner is(was) the deceased father. Which is why I wasn't sure the approach.
