Firearm Inheritance

[Board Meeting]

Question:
I have inherited a Buretta .380 semiauto from my father as it was
in his trust, not specifically listed. I was a trustee/executor of the
estate. I would like to give this firearm to my daughter and I'm wondering
how I can do this legally. Is there a grandfather clause where I'm the legal owner and therefore, I can give it to my daughter? Or what would be the proper procedure.
Thank you.

This is not legal advice. If you want or need specific advice about your particular situation you should pay an attorney to give you legal advice and discuss your circumstances in confidence with them.

A person, generally, who inherited a handgun from a deceased family member could file one of these forms: http://ag.ca.gov/firearms/forms/pdf/oplaw.pdf and the handgun would then be listed in the CA DOJ records in their name.

Also, a person who received a handgun in an transfer between parent and child or grandparent and grandchild would use the same form to report the transfer. The new owner would need to get a Handgun Safety Certificate within 30 days.

Not a lawyer...but have the daughter get her HSC, then just fillout the OPLAW form of you giving the pistol to her.
