I am the Executrix of my father's estate. The beneficiary who is a non-family member gave her son (or sons) handguns that are registered in my father's name. I asked my estate attorney if I had a legal responsibility to transfer them, and she said the recipient just had to apply for a permit and there was nothing that I was required to do. I need clarification on this issue. And, is there anyway to find out if those handguns are still registered in my father's name?...or if the beneficiary transferred them? I would think as Executrix I am the only person that can make this transfer, but I'm not sure.
