NFA estate transfer

[patracy]

Anyone had any dealing with a NFA transfer out of a estate? I've got all the paperwork here with the signed form 4. The widows info is in 3a, the decedents info is in 3c (Name, address, DOD). The current F4's are in the deceased name.

Has anyone been down this path before? Will I also need to get a copy of the death certificate/estate executor? Or is the form 4 will all the details enough. I also have found a obituary online reflecting all the same details.

I'll be calling the NFA branch tomorrow anyhow. But I just wanted to see if anyone had any first hand knowledge.

Death cert and executor stuff plus the f4 should suffice.

Will copies of them suffice or will they have to be notarized or anything crazy like that?

It'll depend on the examiner most likely. Copies should be fine.

Had a guy recently inherit stuff...took guns directly to the ATF office in Atl , had them fill out the paperwork with him, they held onto the guns, pushed the paperwork through in 30 days

That's wasn't what I would do... The executor can hold stuff legally. Then it's just a tax free form 5 to the heir.

Glad it worked out for him, but I would never unnecessarily leave guns in the atf's possession for any amount of time.

If it goes to an heir you do a Form 5. Anyone else a Form 4. Give me a shout at the office if you have any questions.

So what type of NFA Item is it?

Just got off the phone with the NFA office. "Copy of the will, copy of the death certificate, copy of probate of court for the executor, plus the form 4".

Hopefully the widow won't find all this too intrusive.
