[WSBAPT] PR's duty re weapons of decedent

[Marcus Fry]

I am not sure I concur.  A personal representative doesn’t inherit anything, heirs do.  I read the statute that once a PR delivers a pistol to an heir, the heir must transfer the pistol or notify DOL that the heir is retaining the pistol.

I found this  language in the summary of I-594:

Exemptions. The following are exempt from the background check requirements established in the act: Ÿgifts between family members; ................acquisition of a firearm other than a pistol by inheritance, or acquisition of a pistol by inheritance within the preceding 60 days, after which time the person must either transfer the pistol or notify the DOL that the person is retaining the pistol.
This means to me we have to notify  DOL for pistols.

It has been told to me that a PR is under a duty to notify department of licensing in Olympia of the existence, in an estate, of pistols and rifles.  Is this true?
