In most of the countries land belongs to the State.You own the land similar to permanent lease,including right to sell,by paying property tax to the State.Any natural resources like petroleum,gold etc found becomes property of the State.State may acquire land after paying compensation.Assuming meteorite having huge sale value,it is the property of the State,ie the State only can sell it.Please check up the law prevailing in your country/state.

The law varies on this one depending on what country you're in. The below link shows the relevant laws for some countries, and if I find any more I'll post it here.

Define "Large". This is a site you can use to calculate the impact results for meteors of any size:

My answer is that your beneficiaries would be able to sell what was left for a good bit of change.

Yeah, I would say its yours. Some are very valuable. Check Ebay, I`ve seen them for sale there.
