Based on the amount of info it's unclear. You need to know exactly what he was charged with and found guilty of and if that disqualifies him.

 

Then you need to find out how he inherited them. Did brother 1 have a wife or kids? If so wife, then kids would be the real owner. I don't think a verbal inheritance means anything.

 

I'd apply for a FID if I was brother 2 and go from there. If he gets that he could always just fill out a COE and get them that way assuming all parties live in NJ

 

He shouldn't tell anyone he has them as he doesn't need to

 

If he doesn't have a fpid he can still go directly to / from exempt locations

The deceased brother had no wife or kids. Thanks for the info about him not needing FID to transport. I think I'll suggest him to apply for FID.

He probably should contact a lawyer the more I think about it to see if he is a prohibited person. Maybe he can get that taken care of before the FID. And a lawyer would be able to tell him how the whole inheritance with No will works

OK, IANAL, but in dealing with my own younger brother who died last year, here is what I know.  Brother 1 was a resident of what state at the time of death? The rules of that state will apply.  Most will state that because B1 died intestate, without a will, those state laws will determine who will be the executor of the estate and who gets what.  Without written instructions all information is hearsay. This is usually resolved by hiring a lawyer so the proper paperwork can be filed.  Otherwise the state will step in and do it their way.

 

As to B3, how was the charge resolved?  Conviction of a crime?  If so, and he has not done a thing about it, I would say he is a prohibited person and possession is now a  crime.  Again, cause for a lawyer.  If for any dumb reason he is found in possession, it is a trip to the Graybar Hotel, three hots and a cot.

 

B2 needs to step to the plate and settle the estate, pronto. B3 need to see a lawyer and find out his legal status.

All 3 brothers reside(d) in NJ.

I have no idea how it was resolved. I do know that he has been an upstanding citizen since his arrest when he was 20. He's in his 60's now.

I'm going to advise them to talk to an attorney as this is way above my head.

Tbill nailed the most important thing here. If there was no will he can't just say "I inherited it". Without a will only the state of NJ would rule who inherits what.

 

So be careful throwing that phrase around "I inherited it".
