generally speaking domain transfers are handled by email to the contact of record, who approves them. There is however a process for the cases that don't fit in that box -- the isp that folded, the designer who is holding a site hostage, and so on. And deaths, as I mentioned. The fact tjat thre is a process does not mean that anyone can use it. Just happen to know a lot about this because of the case I mentioned and because I used to work at a web host, where this would come up every so often.
In the case of the dead domain holder, I think we needed to provide mucho ID for the members of the board of trustees and a copy of the 501c3 paperwork, possibly accompanied by some other documentation of his death, I am not sure -- I am thinking the obit though. When I re-registered it I put it th ethe name of the organization.
