FFL Transfer or Intrafamilial Transfer

[Afmo]

My uncle passed away and had a trust. The trust is now in posession of all of his items, including a handgun. My mother is the trustee.

if i were to get the handgun as part of the distribution of the trust, must this still go through FFL, or can it be an interfamilial transfer due to the fact that my mother is the trustee?

What state is the firearm in? What state does your mother live in? Are you a CA resident?

Presuming CA-resident mom, CA-resident you,

PPT, trust to you.

Or, if she gets the guns from the trust, PPT trust to her, decides she does not really want them, then intrafamilial to you -- but why bother with 2 steps?

Everyone here is in CA. Gun is in CA. Both Myself and mother are CA residents.

Upon death, Mom became the trustee and the wording of the will is:

I give, devise and bequeath all of the rest, remainder and residue of my estate, whether real or personal property of whatsoever kind or character and wherever situated, to the trustee of the XXXXXXX living trust as written or thereafter amended.

So by my reading, upon death, everything became hers, and now that it is hers, i can use the intrafamilial form and just have it transferred?

Is this totally off base?
