[E-trademarks] Recording assignment with redactions

[Robert Reynolds]

Afternoon, all.

                Got a situation where we represent a transferee who bought a few trademarks from another company many years ago. The proprietor has died and the company has been dissolved by its state of formation. The transfer document doesn't have the typical schedule made for submission with the USPTO that omits the sensitive information that the general public needn't see, and there's no one left to sign a new recordation document referencing the original transfer agreement.

I'd like to avoid submitting the entirety of the transfer agreement, if possible. My initial thought was light redactions to the most sensitive information, but I'm not finding guidance in TMEP §500 if this is allowed. Anyone handle a similar situation in the past?
