First of all, I would find out who has rights to the work. It's not always the immediate family. It could be the publisher, or in certain cases the composer has set up a separate company that controls the rights (such as Bernstein/Amberson or Schoenberg/Belmont). ASCAP and BMI have on-line databases which may point you in the right direction.

Also, some third parties represent many publishers and composers - sometimes without their explicit approval. Google "Tresona" to get an idea of what I am referring to.

But, consulting with an IP lawyer is a good idea, especially if you want to distribute the arrangement commercially.
