Can I use photos taken by my grandparents or other deceased estate?

Users should not do this:

I have seen cases where a person has an account that only posts or IDs observations of Taxon X, and another account that posts or IDs only observations that are not Taxon X. They state that clearly in their bio, and I haven’t seen any issue caused by it.

This specific situation was addressed by staff in a previous topic:

@tiwane

Yeah, please use only one account for your activity on iNat. Some exceptions are class accounts for instructors to use with students, and accounts for organizations (eg parks, etc). For the latter I highly recommend using an organization email account (eg info@organization.org) rather than a personal work account. There have been so many times when someone creates an organizational account using their personal work address, then leaves the organization, and no one can access it later.
