Ring of confusion in Milwaukee, WI

(Ringing with confusion)

My mother-in-law recieved a birthday gift from a friend who is 89. This lady never had children but was married 3 times with husbands who had children of his own. The husbands all are passed. She no longer speaks to the step children. The lady has 2 nieces she speaks to on and off maybe a few times a year. My mother-in-law goes over there several times a week. She even spends the night to keep her company. My mother-in-laws birthday was just celebrated and as a gift this lady gave her one of her former wedding ring set. Is this ok? Should we have it in writing to protect my mother-in-law when this lady passes? She does not want to put an argument over this or be accused of stealing. What is your advice?
