Ok, but the whole idea of having any choice is to keep the choice from your relatives. They should not get a say, regardless of whether it is opt in or opt out only because that is taking away critical time needed to harvest those organs. Plus, the grieving that they are doing may make them hysterical, and a decision should not be made in that state.
