thanks.

Generally, no. The conferring of noble titles is a right almost always reserved by the monarch. Your question implies that the family in question is no longer in power, so any "titles" they conferred would not be recognized.

A former reigning family, regardless of whether the head of it is still alive, does not have the power to transmit or grant titles. Only a reigning monarch can do that.

No, most titles are only passed on after death or when you inherit a higher title. For example upon the death of the Queen, Prince Charles will become King and William will automatically become Duke of Cornwall. He has to be created Prince of Wales, Charles did not become Prince of Wales until he was nine and was not formally invested until he was 21. He became Duke of Cornwall at three when his grandfather died.

Depends on the country in part. In some countries sucha title can probably be sold or given away.
