This involves the liquidation of an estate and its distribution. The lawyers have asked their clients to obtain valuations of various parts of the estate including a large movie poster collection. The lawyer probably has little or no knowledge of movie posters but investigating the legalities will no doubt rack up some hefty fees.

I will look into this issue as soon as possible”. I seem to remember that the reasons that movie posters can be sold legally have been quoted on MoPo in the last but it would be great if someone could provide the legal terminology (or something close to it) that allows movie posters to be sold.
