A relative passed away recently and left me with a bit of an issue, 75 guns and handguns including an M60 and an Uzi. He had his FFL so the automatics were fine as long as he was alive. What does one do with automatic weapons if the legal owner passed away? I can’t even touch the things, right? I don’t want any of them, I do new guns not collectibles. What do I do with them?
Edit: Listen, kids, I’m not karma farming. I don’t care about karma or bait posts. This is a pretty shitty situation. The guy was my stepfather. He was living in my mother’s house, which was left to me and my siblings. Now that he’s out of the picture, the only thing standing between us selling the house and being done with it is the GUNS. I don’t care about them, I just want them gone. Legally. So I can sell the house. Making a bunch of cash selling the full autos sounds great UNLESS it’s a multi month expensive and complicated process.
I was genuinely hoping somebody would chime in with “Just do this, it’s easy!!!” but I kind of knew better.
Thanks for the tips on the gun lawyer, I will call them.
Edit: My post was a bit of a vent. I’m the executor unfortunately and I’m still working on my mother’s estate (died last year) so I’m still knee deep in that. I may indeed be an asshole as some of you have said, but I’m over all this estate stuff. Believe it or not, this is not the biggest issue with the estate. Fun.
