Q1: that's up to the family and may need a lawyer. From what I have heard, including my family when my parents passed (but no guns involved), so long as everyone is happy you can do anything reasonable, and no one will much care. If someone should get his nose out of joint, then 'official' stuff needs to happen.

Q2 and Q3 are the same thing; anything he might keep, he needs to submit paperwork for. He might also sell any of those that come to him, via PPT at a CA FFL, instead of registering to himself.

Would not be unusual if dad had given all his guns to him before rifle/handgun registration began. Would be completely legal to own that private property. Millions of guns live like that here.

I'm not a creepy money grubbing lawyer.

CA registration timeline for non-prohibited weapons...
01-01-1924 = DROS of handgun registered it with CA DOJ.
01-01-1991 = Firearm transfers must be done through a CA FFL dealer, which results in a DROS.
01-01-1993 = Mandatory registration of handgun transferred via intra-familial or operation of law.
01-01-1997 = Mandatory registration of handgun imported by new resident of CA.
01-01-1998 = Mandatory registration of C&R handgun imported by CA resident with C&R FFL.
01-01-2014 = DROS of long gun registered it with CA DOJ and mandatory registration of long gun transferred via intra-familila or operation of law and mandatory registration of long gun imported by new resident of CA and mandatory registration of C&R long gun imported by CA resident with C&R FFL and mandatory registration of C&R long gun acquired within CA by a CA resident with a C&R FFL.

The reality is that no one will ever ask, or ever care, when he legally inherited his father’s guns. If he ever wants to sell any of the guns the only concern will be whether they were ever reported as stolen, not when or if they were ever registered to the legal heir after the original legal owner’s death. They will then become registered to the new owner, and the state will be that much closer to its ultimate goal of universal gun registration.
