Finding myself in a situation where my uncle has the early stages of Alzheimer's. It started with struggling to find words and then started with losing concepts of time. My mom, aunt and myself are listed as power of attorney over him (I'm an alternate since I'm out of state). We have started discussing what is going to happen when we have to remove the firearms from him or he has to go to a facility because he can't live alone anymore. They all live in Pennsylvania and I know Maryland has rules as far as what guns can be transferred into the state if they were inherited by a resident, especially after 2013.
Does anyone know the process for someone in my situation (power of attorney)? Can I transfer them now or do I have to literally wait until he passes to take them?
The guns are all left for me in his will but I don't know if my aunt and mom want them sitting around up there at their homes for years. We are talking everything from Lugers to LaRue. It's going to be a huge task to deal with since he has around 60 handguns and 80 rifles and I'd rather start doing it incrementally rather than deal with it all at once.
Has anyone encountered a similar situation?
