My wife is the sole executor of her late dads estate. She has to divide the firearms between herself and her brother. I understand that the proper DOJ paperwork can be filled out and mailed in by the person (her brother) taking possession of the firearms.
Here's my question.
Do they do a background on her brother and if so what happens if he doesn't pass? do the firearms go back to the estate or is he ordered to surrender them.
I understand that if we do this through an FFL they would go back to the estate because he never takes possession of them. That being said I've yet to find an FFL in my area that "comfortable" with an estate transfer.
My wife has the death cert and her paperwork from the court appointing her.
Any input would be appreciated.
