I know that NJ law provides an exception to the gun purchasing rules when it comes to inheritance. I don't know exactly what needs to be done, but as far as I know, as long as the guns are legal to possess in NJ, it's a relatively painless process (ironic for NJ).
The long guns do not need to be registered. Pistols do not need to be registered if legally brought into the state--meaning somebody moved to NJ and brought pistols they purchased as a resident of another state with them. I don't know if pistols can be done that way interstate with an inheritance, though. Best bet is to check with an attorney, preferably one who specializes in firearms law.
