Hi folks, I am looking for a little advice.
I have been offered 4 old shot guns by a Lady who’s husband died some time ago (they were/are on his licence) she says I can have then so long as I work out how to transfer them to my licence and do all the paper work etc.
The problem is I don't really know how to do it if her husband is no longer with us to sign the necessary paper work.
Thinking about it I can't see how she can legally hold them at the moment, I don't want to get her in trouble but she doesn't hold a licence but does own the guns having inherited them.
I am thinking of telling her to take them to an RFD and asking them to hold them for her, as she is in London and I am in Devon, until I can work out what to do about it.
Now, this must happen fairly regularly so there must be a system in place to deal with it.
Does anyone know how I can get them transferred on to my ticket?
Cheers in advance,
Tom
