Once everything settles they'll go through the Will and figure out whats next.  I should have asked him if it's okay to mention him here, I'm pretty sure some of you may know his Dad as he would go to Koko Head.

I told him he might want to go get his Pistol Permit for starters, he said he has a Hunter Education Program permit but I wasn't sure if that qualifies.  I ended up telling him to first find out how the Will is written then to call HPD, hopefully that's good advice:-)

Even if the will is silent, easy to take care of that.  That is if the other siblings ok with it. My sister likes shooting, but didn’t want any of the guns, so easy.  As mentioned, the death certificate is a key document. I heard they can take a while now due to COVID tho.

Haha. It’s not like we all know everyone.
Ask your buddy if he knows for sure if the guns are registered under the dad. I’ve had buddies who went in on estate sales and come to find out an uncle passed and gave gun to brother (or similar, but you get the just) and caused issues in transfer.

This ain't a couple of Saturday Night Specials, we're talking Bench Rifles that's all I'm sayin' :-)

Sounds like your buddy is inheriting some nice rifles.
