I am working on my Will. I am leaving everything to by brother, but he nor any family members have a FOID. I have a buddy that I would prefer that they go to. Does anyone know how the transfer would work if I would not be able to be involved with the transfer?

If the person receiving the firearms lives in the State of Illinois, they would need a FOID. If the person(s) receiving the firearms lived outside Illinois, they would have to meet the requirements of their home state to legally posses a firearm and receive them.
Firearms left Intestate would not require a transfer through a FFL for interstate transfer as long as the firearm(s) was/were mentioned in the Last Will and Testament. State law would apply. |

Does anyone know how the transfer would work if I would not be able to be involved with the transfer? Why not just have him get a FOID? It's not expensive, and I think it's like 10 yrs now? Another option would be to include a contingency in the will. "Upon my death, I leave my guns to my brother. In the event my brother does not have a FOID, I allow him 60 days to get a FOID. If after 60 days, he does not yet have a FOID, I then leave my guns to my friend." I'm sure a lawyer could come up with the proper wording. |
