My wife got "the call" Saturday. It was from the Coast Guard saying my ELT had gone off somewhere in California. While I told her I was going flying she didn't think it was to Santa Rosa! 
I sold my RV-12 to a guy out there and didn't think to deregister the ELT from my name and have him re-register it. Heck, I don't remember registering it in the first place!
Anyway, save your self and your family a heart attack and deregister the 406 ELT is you sell a plane with one. If you buy a plane with one, make sure it is in your name with your contacts.
The problem is you have to have the ID to deregister it. I don't have any of that info.
