Both my wife and I are LTC holders. We have been together a long time and have a lot of stuff that under Mass property laws we own together. Items like real estate and vehilces would be viewed as joint ownership, even if the deeds/titles were in just one parties name. The laws talk about firearm ownership and being a licensee, mostly in the singular person sense.
Hypothetically speaking - Let's say that I buy her a S&W 642 for Mother's Day. Would an FA-10 need to be used to transfer it to her, or do we own it together? The words on the FA-10 say it is for Firearms Sale/Rental/Lease. It is a record between a buyer and seller.
What if she decided that she didn't like the 642 and wanted to trade it for something else? She is licensed for ownership and to make the trade. Does an FA-10 need to be filed to put under her name or do I go and sign the transfer to the dealer/third party?
How would a Durable Power of Attorney document be viewed on joint ownership of firearms? Most of them I have seen use the word property or goods (cars, furniture, lamps, dogs). Should a POA explicitly say firearms?
