Ok, this is kind of a strange question. I know someone who had a friend who recently passed away. This friend had several NFA items but apparently didn't do a good job of making provisions for their disposal after his death. The deceased person's sole heir is his son, who has a felony record and is prohibited from possessing firearms. I'm not 100% sure how accurate the facts are, but that's how it was told to me.
What's going to happen to the NFA items? Is there any way the son can transfer the items to someone who can legally own them, so they don't get confiscated? I would hate to see them taken by the ATF and melted down.
