Legal Question in Personal Injury in Colorado
use of a private image
My father owned a resturant, and was an avid hunter, beloved by all. He died in 1987. Now the new owners of his old resturant have decorated a room with pictures of him and memorabilia. I have no idea where they got them. I want to know if it is against the law to profit from his image without permission from his children?

It likely depends upon the terms of the contract for the sale of the restaurant. You should approach the owners, tell them your concerns, and ask for a copy of the contract, although that should already be among your father's effects.
Good luck.
