I remember Conway Twitty died without a will, or at least a good one. It turned into a nasty estate fight. I believe a judge finally just auctioned everything.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom given to Jesse Owens was auctioned by the family so it is possible under certain circumstances it seems. Probably because it is a not a military honor but one given to a private citizen. A Purple Heart or Medal of Honor are both military honors and I believe they can not be sold or auctioned.
