I have a sneaking suspicion that Dumbledore has already /taken care
of/ Kreacher. Dumbledore, after questioning Kreacher, would have
realize that not only was he a loose cannon, but a traitor, and as
such, felt it necessary to eliminate that bit of evil. 

This is especially true in light of Sirius's death. Once Sirius died
there was nothing to truly tie Kreacher directly to the House of
Black. That made Kreacher not only a loose cannon but a free agent
with allegience to and control by no one. That's too great a risk to
take. So, yes, Kreacher's head in now on the wall next to his
ancestors. Although, I think they should take all those heads down;
very nasty business if you ask me. 

On the subject of the Will, I can easily see Sirius creating a hand
written Will, and having it witnessed by someone from the Order.
However, that Will can not be presented until they prove Sirius is
innocent. Then they have to establish that he is dead. Only then can
they present the Will. It is very true that whoever Witnessed the
signing of the Will would be in trouble for haboring a fugitive. But I
think that can be forgiven once it has been firmly establish the
Sirius was innocent. I like to see Harry use Rita again to tell the
world the truth about Sirius, and thereby set the stage for him being
cleared. 

None of this will happen until Dumbledore and the Order have
everything they need to make it proceed to their advantage. Until is
serves Dumbledore and the Order, there is no point in letting anyone
know that Sirius is dead.

Just a thought.
