<div>Dear Steve, </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I’ll leave the PR issue to others. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>But as to the firearms, you first need to determine what kind of firearms they are. For example, are they rifles, shotguns, or pistols. Then you need to determine if they are governed by the National Firearms Act (for example, short barreled rifles, short
barreled shotguns, machine guns, or suppressors). If the firearms are not NFA firearms and are just your regular old off-the-shelf rifle, shotgun, or pistol then take a look at RCW 9.41.113 and 9.41.010. In almost all cases, the seller will need to conduct
the transfer through a licensed dealer who can perform a background check on the purchaser. The process is pretty easy and the dealers usually charge only a small fee for the background check, which can be paid by either party but is usually paid by the purchaser.
Take special note, if the estate owns a pistol there are specific reporting requirements that must be made within 60 days of the decedent’s death if the pistol is not transferred to a third party. RCW 9.41.113(4)(g). </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If you suspect the firearm is an NFA firearm, give me a call because that is a whole different ball of wax.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best regards,</div>
<div>Jensen </div>

various pleadings, working papers, etc. but given the only beneficiary is an adult – wouldn’t some agreed Order suffice – with of course a new Oath of PR. I suppose I would need to get new/updated Letters Testamentary too. Anyone have advice for me?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
