I was in almost the same situation. After my dad died I got all his guns. My nephew(by marriage) tried to get them saying dad wanted him to have them for his son when he got older. My dad never said any such thing. My sister got into it saying she wanted them for the same boy. My niece divorced him a few months later so he's out of the picture but me and my sis aren't getting along very well now. Also my father in law died a couple of weeks ago. He had a few guns. A couple of them I'd love to have but I'm not going to try to get them. They should go to members of his family, not a relative by marriage. However should any be offered(fat chance) I won't say no.
