Inheritance laws

Recommended Posts

Trying to help a friend with a couple guns he discovered in his deceased fathers home. One is a handgun one a rifle. What exactly does or can he do with the guns? He does NOT have an FID nor does he want one. He also has NO need or want for these guns. Any help would be appreciated for he is talking about taking these guns to the local PD..............................

 

Thanks

Greg

Your friend can sell them privately to a collector/shooter or to a gun store/FFL in your area.  He can wrap them in brown butcher paper, tie them closed with string and place them in the trunk of his car and drive them to point of sale.  All legal.

 

Of course if you want to help him you could look them up to see what they're worth and advise your friend to sell to one of us here :nyam:

My friend is the executor. He also knows the guns are NOT registered because his father never had a FID. Can somebody without a FID sell a gun? Can one sell a guy that has never been registered?

His father may have owned them before NJ came up with the FID cards and permits (1966) or inherited them and would not have been required to register the handgun, long guns have never been registered in NJ. FID or permits are not required by the seller to sell privately owned firearms in NJ.

Q9.

 

If I inherit a firearm what must I do?

 

A9.

 

Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 2C:58-3j, a firearm purchaser identification card and/or a handgun purchase permit shall not be required for the passing of a firearm upon the death of an owner thereof to his/her heir or legatee, whether the same by testamentary bequest or by the laws of intestacy. The firearm must be legal to possess in New Jersey and the persN.J.S.A. 2C:58-3con receiving the firearm shall not be prohibited by before receiving the firearm. If the heir or legatee does not qualify to acquire and possess the firearm, then ownership may be retained for a period not to exceed 180 days provided the firearm is transferred to the chief law enforcement officer of the municipality or the superintendent during such period.
