What is cost of firearms transfer after death of parent

[basket of deplorables]

Hi,
I am asking for my wife's female cousin.

Her father passed away 5 years ago and 4 firearm were never transferred over to her name.

2 shotguns
2 pistols

On her own she went to an FFL in Los Angeles and was charged about $600 for the completion of the transfer over to her name.

I asked her what the FFL fees were to help her with this paper work and transfer.

She told me the FFL did not charge her any FFL fees and told her the $600 were only fees from the state.

That sounds ridiculous.

I thought it was 19 bucks.

It is ridiculous and the ffl lied to her. If she has possession of the firearms, she just needs to report to DOJ so it can put under her name. $19 total via the cfars website using the operation of law form for receivership of an estate.

I concur.

Father to daughter inheritance takes 1 form, 1 $19 fee for all the guns listed on the form.

See the form, https://oag.ca.gov/sites/all/files/a...rms/oplaw.pdf?

That is an outrageous rip off. Unethical as hell. And may even be criminal fraud.

That FFL needs to be publicly OUTED here on CG. So other citizens can avoid them.

thanks for everyones response.
It sound really suspicious.
Will find out the FFL if she is willing to share info.
He has her firearms now for the 10 day hold.

Your wife's cousin has a case in small claims court for $600 against that FFL for fraud.

Not suspicious if it is exactly as described.


It is theft and fraud.

She got bent over who was the ffl.? If it was in Burbank I know who the ffl is.

I believe if she was given the guns prior to 1990, there was no paperwork needed at all. Am I right?

[Epaphroditus]

Both CA residents? $19. No FFL needed. OPLAW form. Unless there was an estate, will, etc then it's a bit more messy but ni way is it $600 messy. Someone got robbed.

Per the OP, the guy died 5 years ago.....

I saw that. But if he gave them to his offspring prior to 1990 was my point.
