NFA item, deceased owner
I may need some legal advice here. A quick background first. I've been looking for a registered M16 and don't want to pay retail for one. One of my clients (I'm a veterinarian) just told me that she "thinks" she may have one. Her parents both passed away recently, and she inherited a gun collection, and she is pretty sure her father had an M16 in the collection. Now, assuming this is a registered form 4 gun, and is registered to her father (now deceased) as an individual, how can I obtain the gun on a legal transfer? I can get CLEO signatures no problem on my end since I always get my NFA items on individual transfers. The problem is, if he didn't do a trust long ago, how can this weapon be transferred to me legally? I would be getting the gun at a bargain basement price, so I don't want to pass this up as long as the gun is legally registered right now.
I will post more information as soon as I have it. I'm crossing my fingers that this is a dream come true.
May God have mercy on my enemies, because I won't.
