Yeah I have no idea : /?? Power of attorney ??
Would that work to allow someone else (the poa) to transfer the guns via FFL to the MIL?
Sounds good to us.I was thinking Winamac Meet & Shoot & Fish Fry.
Ok I need advice, because I've been asked for advice.
Partner's uncle has late stage cancer. Starts chemo this week. Wants to give my MIL two of partner's grandpa's guns. He lives in IL, MIL lives in Tenn.
He won't be able to go to an FFL any time soon because of medical stuff.
What's the right thing for them to do?
This is one of those cases where the laws seem literally cruel.
Thanks for any context. Ain't easy to google this ****.
*Edit -- sorry for messing up the language filter, this is kinda emotional, especially cause partner just got cleared by her docs a couple years ago.
*Should he just like will them
My dad did poa with several firearms for my uncle from OH to IN. Little bit of work there, but it is doable.?? Power of attorney ??

Not sure why you would need that. Anyone should be able to take the guns to the FFL to ship them. It is the receiver that has to do the B/G check.?? Power of attorney ??

Yeah. I would think any resident could take them and have them transferred, as long as they have a FOID that is.How do you mean -- another IL resident?
His experience was years ago and may not be the same anymore. Because of poa and the situation, he also had a letter from a judge, but not one person looked at it. He loaded up the car and drove home.Thanks -- Any chance you remember what the process was?
Appreciate it.

I am not a lawyer, I do not play one on TV, but the guns will automatically transfer legal ownership to the legal heir in the case of death. If it was me, I might be following Kevin's advice, it might not be strictly legal but then again I am not a lawyer and I don't play one on TV.Surprisingly enough firearms are not required to be registered in illannoy
Firearms are also not registered in Tennessee, so there’s no record of ownership in either state just like Indiana. If it were me I would simply transport them to their new owners.
just my two cents but IANAL
Thanks yeah -- that was my best idea, but I dunno if he's got a relationship with one, I'll suggest it today. Appreciate it.He could also try contacting some of the smaller local FFLs. Maybe he can find someone willing to come to him.
Thanks for the info, appreciate it.His experience was years ago and may not be the same anymore. Because of poa and the situation, he also had a letter from a judge, but not one person looked at it. He loaded up the car and drove home.
