If rifles or shotguns you can sell those easily. The pistols must be on her permit or they will be taken by the government. Check with a FFL and see if they can take them for sale.
I would call an FFL in the area and have them come get the guns and put them on consignment if none of the family members want them. I just went through this with my Brother in law. I secured his guns and got them to my FFL. No police or government involvement was required. Once we had a death certificate we were able to transfer the guns to who they were going to go to and turn in his pistol license.
Not quite. The government is not going to "take them" you have 15 days to get them to an FFL where they can be secured until their disposition is finalized.

Please pass on our sympathies. It is a difficult time and unfortunately laws in this case can add another short term item to worry about.
As previously stated, long guns are easier and there is no rush. Likewise Permitted handguns, if they were co registered, there is no rush for the coregistrant.
If a permitted handgun is not coregistered but a permitted family member wants to keep it, an FFL can help facilitate a transfer the family can do through their Sheriff's pistol office.
If a permitted handgun is not coregistered but a non permitted family member wants to keep it, some Hudson Valley county Sheriff's pistol office are known to be helpful expediting a permit and will still need an FFL.
If a family member is not interested in the guns, an FFL can sell them on consignment for you but there is a short window to get the handguns to the FFL.
If you need a recommended local FFL, just let this forum know what county your friend lives in and I am sure someone can provide a helpful recommendation .

A BGC will still be required for her to sell his long guns.
Also, if he had a registered, ny safe defined "assault" rifle, she will need to get that to an FFL as well if IIRC.
I honestly can't recall or understand all the details in safe for registered rifles.

They need to go to a federal firearms license dealer or be sold out of state.

You could list the fire arms on here for sale as well.

I figured something like this may be required.

When my grandfather died the sheriffs office took his handguns until I got my permit in NY. No ffl needed in my case.

Due to the safe act of 2013, all firearm transfers ( background check must be performed. ) must go through an FFL.

Yeah it was weird. They issued my permit and added it without a ffl. I’m sure they did a background check at some point. Felt odd picking up handguns from the sheriff and walking out!

No they did not. Only FFL can do a fed check.
You may be in vilotation. Not sure if grandpa is an immediate family. Check that. If he is you are gtg.
Edit. 2/17/18. Grandparents are not included in the private transfer exemptions.
If not:
Free advice. Delete your post and dont admit to breaking the law in public.

Nah I’m good. Thanks though. Maybe I had the check done and they issued coupon. It’s been awhile but it was all legal. I know a 4473 was done. The sheriff held the handguns until I got the permit. That much I’m sure of.

I’m sorry for your loss. Get them to an FFl immediately. Then worry about posting them up for sale. Time is of the essence.

There is 15 days to get them to an FFL if the wife doesn't have them listed on her permit..
If I can get prices and pictures we can make it happen much faster and without worrying about the FFL charging a storage fee

Most counties have a fair amount of leniency in regards to the death of a permit holder.
Any FFL that charges storage fees in cases such as this is a big fucking penis.

No welcome needed. If your FFL charges storage fees in such situations your FFL sucks...
