Are you suggesting that the gun is Titled in someone's name?

In some states, it's no big deal. In other states, it can be a problem.

Sell private and don't worry about it. Check your state laws of course.

The U.S., contrary to what a surprising number of people think, does not have a firearm registration. I can’t speak to all 50 states’ rules and regulations, but as long as it hasn’t been reported stolen, you shouldn’t have any problem selling it.

18Pa.C.S.6111 If in Pa, all handguns need transferred. Except, within immediate family. (Mom/Dad/Kids) Even need transferred to a step child. Unless step dad was to give it to his wife. She could then give it to her kid. Or, her parents or siblings Long guns don't need transferred. Do you know a mom/dad/kid/spouse of the dead dude? Or, is it a rifle?
Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

OK, I tend to avoid threads of a legal nature here on the 'fire, but I think I can get in and out of this one in short order.

Sounds like the gun and the deceased lived in one of the commie states. That puts the gun on the books in the deceased's name.
Sale/transfer will be regulated by the deceased's state of residence, so, transfer would depend on the very critical wording of that states "transfer/sale" rules.

Don't live somewhere where that matters Yep. I used to, i.e., New York State. There, every handgun has to have a registered owner who holds a NYS Pistol Permit. If that person dies, and none of his relatives (who must also have a permit) have been named to take them, the family's obligation in the law is to call the police to come and collect them. The family can then direct the police to place them for sale at an FFL, or ship them to an out of state FFL, or transfer them to someone with a NYS Pistol Permit. Anything outside those parameters causes the handguns to become contraband, possession of which is a felony.

Oregon recently enacted a similar statute re private sales.
Oregon does not YET have a pistol permit.
