Can you name a school after a deceased person without permission from heirs?

In many jurisdictions, naming a school after a deceased person typically does not require permission from the heirs, especially if the person has been deceased for a significant period of time. However, it is generally considered respectful and good practice to seek input or permission from the family, particularly if the individual has close living relatives. Additionally, local laws and regulations may vary, so it’s important to check for any specific requirements in your area.
