Hypothetical question
If a firearms owner passes away and their unlicensed spouse is left with non restricted firearms, what would be their first course of action to sell them legally?? (asking for a friend, lol).........................Daniel

RCMP website has some info about firearms left with an estate. They can be inherited or the estate/executor can transfer/sell to anyone holding a valid licence.

No Worries! Only reason I know of that is because last week a buddy asked about how to get his fathers old rifles and we looked into it. Glad to help!

You can take possession that is if you are licensed and sell it for her.

I would %110 percent go that route and not get the police involved, There is a lot of police that don't know the rules and may give bad advise.

As long as the spouse is the estate executor ( you'd be surprised how many aren't) ,the PAL authority automatically transfers to them. At any rate,the Executor's authority under the law is absolute whether pr not they have a PAL/RPAL. It's their responsibility to disperse the estate (after probate if required) to whomever the decedent indicated in the Will provided the heir is adequately licencsed or the Executor is required to liquidate the estate within a reasonable amount of time (debateable because liquidating an estate can take a heck of a long time). Only under very rare circumstances can law enforcement become involved. Under normal circumstances,there's no requirement or reason to involve them,at all.

Good advise Trimmer21. The only thing I might add is that if the executor is not licence they may overlook the fact, that they have an obligation to ensure that any individual they are selling the firearms to, has a valid firearm licence for the class of firearm they are looking to purchases. I've had an experience where the executrix was totally unaware they needed to ensure the purchaser was properly
licenced.
