Transferring gund from a deceast family member to others

[KillZone45]

Ok my landlord has a few guns that were her Pop's and she still hasn't transferred them over to her or someone else's name and it has been about two years since he died. How does she go about getting them into her name? Just bring them down to the local FFL and transfer them into her or someones else's name at $35 a pop? What should I say to convince her that she needs to do this? Thanks!

My local gun shop actually gave me a sheet to fill out and send in for a .22 I picked up for my wife...

Deceased father to daughter transfer.

If the firearms are long guns (rifles/shotguns), then no paperwork needs to be done. Long guns are not registered in CA and her just taking possession of them is considered a legal transfer.

If the firearms are handguns, then she needs to send in an Operation of Law or Intra-Familial Handgun Transaction Report with $19 to CA DOJ BOF.
Aquired From = father. How Possession Was Obtained = bequest.
There is no penalty in sending in the form late.
