Does anyone know how the ATF handles Form 5 transfers to descendants if the original Form 4 owner died a relatively long time ago and the descendant had no idea the item was NFA?

Do they generally confiscate the item, or will they allow the descendant/heir to process a Form 5 and transfer the weapon over?

Has anyone seen any cases where this happened? What were the outcomes?
