    I believe you need a copy of the death certificate. Take it and your firearms to an FFL to have them registered in your name.

        Do NOT take the guns to an FFL unless you intend to sell them.

        1) There is no requirement in law that guns be registered to you. There are sometimes a few benefits, but it is not required.

        2) The only benefit accrues to handgun registration; there are some circumstances - e.g. concealed carry without a license - where having the gun registered to you changes a felony to a misdemeanor.

        3) Long guns are not registered anyway.

        4) Family transfer at worst would require filing a form with $19 for all the handguns you care to register.

        5) After 20 years, it really doesn't matter.
