"Expansion of the relationships that are considered required transfers.
Previously, it had to fall within 4 generations - so you back to your great-grandparents or you down to your great-grandchildren. No in-laws, no step-relationships, no adoptions. Just strict bloodline. That excluded aunts and uncles, brothers-in-law, etc. This caused pain and stress to family members who wanted to manage the memorial of a beloved maiden aunt - a woman with no children. Because it had been outside of the REQUIRED transfer, there were some memorial creators who refused to transfer, even if they weren't related at all.
Now, the new guidelines have expanded those covered by a required transfer. As of January 11, 2022, those relationships are:
" ...... child, spouse/partner, sibling, parent, grandchild, great-grandchild, grandparent, great-grandparent, niece/nephew, great neice/nephew, aunt/uncle, great aunt/uncle, or first cousin. This would include adoptive, step and in-law versions of these relationships."
FindAGrave has also clarified WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF TWO CLOSE FAMILY MEMBERS WANT TO MANAGE THE SAME MEMORIAL. If two members are related within these guidelines and both would like to manage the memorial, the member with the closer relationship should be given management."
