HFTech Posted May 12, 2021 Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 I believe At one time Brother In Laws were considered Legal Heirs to NFA Items. Am I wrong or has that changed ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DINK Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 Not a legal expert, but I believe that if there's a will, anyone named in the will is a legal heir, whether or not they are related. If there is no will, the status of heir would be determined by the laws of inheritance in that particular state. FWIW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEW Posted May 14, 2021 Report Share Posted May 14, 2021 (edited) If you make him so in your will he is a testamentary heir, otherwise no. LEGAL HEIR TheLaw.com Law Dictionary & Black's Law Dictionary 2nd Ed. civil law. A legal heir is one who is of the same blood of the deceased ie; son, daughter sister or brother, and who takes the succession by force of law; this is different from a testamentary or conventional heir, who takes the succession in virtue of the disposition of man.

AGG Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Generally and in priority, if no will: 1. Spouse (% share, if children) 2. Children (% share equally, if spouse) 3. Grandchildren (if no spouse or children) 4. Parents (if no spouse, children, or grandchildren) 5. Siblings (equally share, if no spouse, children, grandchildren, or parents) 6. Nieces/nephews (equally share, if none of the above) 7. State (if no blood-related heirs) Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
