Transferring guns w/ deceased owner

[Judicator]

ok guys this one is for a co-worker. As I don’t have time to search forums atm for him.
My co-workers has a buddy that his dad died recently. No one in the house has an FiD or anything more. Atm I know he should get the guns out of the house and into someone’s hands that has a liceanse. Here is his question...
What does he have to do to get the pistols in his(my co workers) name? He lives in NH and the guns are in MA. The deceased’s son does not have nor want his gun permit atm.
I told him keep the pistols in MA as if you transfer them to NH they might not be able to come back, but I think they are leaning to moving them to MA.
Thanks

Transfer them through an ffl. Have the executor bring the death certificate. If the ownee is deceased leave him to professionals. Amatuer undertaking is not food

MA to NH?
This option isnt advised, as you could guess it is illegal.

MA to NH? Keep his mouth shut, go and get them and bring them to NH.
May need to bring a Bandit to run ahead to keep the smokies busy.

Not very smart giving advice to commit a Federal Felony!!

You'll find the answers in this Sticky:
MA-Gun Laws (Fed & MA) and Inheritance

There is no legal reason for the "Personal Representative" (used to be called Executor/Executrix) to give the guns to a licensed person immediately if you follow the laws on inheritance.

Actual transfer to a person not named in a Will (or by legal succession) however is a regular transfer from estate to that person and must follow all the laws accordingly like any other transfer.

That's why I added the part about the Bandit

Still not smart. I don't care what people do personally. BUT I do care that we give out only legal answers . . . then the reader can assess risk and do as they please.
