Hm, I don't think I was specifically named in the will as heir to the specific revolver. I believe it was just stated that the great nieces/nephews can have the firearms that they wanted (at least that's what my uncle told me). How exactly would I do this then? Would he ship it to the FFL to handle the transfer? Do we need any specific documentation? Not sure what kind of paper trail needs to happen to keep it all legal. I would imagine that I would still need the FID and purchase permit before I receive the firearm, correct? Or do I not even need the purchase permit?

Hey everyone, My great uncle recently passed away and left all of his firearms to his great nieces and nephews (a SW revolver to me). It is in my uncle's possession currently in Virginia and I need to get it legally shipped up to me; I just wanted to make sure I have all my ducks in a row. My understanding is that I will need to apply for my FID and handgun purchase permit and arrange for the transfer to occur between two FFL dealers (my uncle is handling everything on the VA side.) Is there anything I am leaving out or anything else I should be looking into? Thanks!
