Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Pennsylvania

First Title 18 is not the uniform Firearms Act it's the title that for criminal law. So call him up and ask him what his Supreme Court Id number is? Further since when does that act override the intestate law?

In short that person is BSing you big time. Break down and call a real lawyer. We don't bite. I for one don't like non-lawyers acting like lawyers.

You are posting again. Attorney Davidson has told you - the adult child needs to see a probate attorney now and become appointed as the administrator of the estate. Title 18 is the PA criminal code. The Uniform Firearms Act is found in Chapter 61, Sections 6101 - 6127. I did not read each and every section but I agree with Attorney Davidson that there does not appear to be anything in there which would override state intestacy law. All of the children of the fiance are entitled to inherit their father's property, not the brother, mother and other family. Maybe this is what he was referring to?

Warning: You are not the actual buyer if you are acquiring the firearm(s) on behalf of another person, unless you are legitimately acquiring the firearm as a gift for any of the following individuals who are legally eligible to own a firearm:

(1) spouse;

(2) parent;

(3) child;

(4) grandparent; or

(5) grandchild.

How do you know a firearms dealer called you? It could have been the best friend of the mother/brother for all you know.

Please, stop trying to get the estate administered on a public bulletin board and go and get a consult with a real probate attorney who practices in the county where the estate for the fiance will be probated.
