That is very much a fact not in evidence. If the deceased had a trust, the gun may belong to the trust. If the deceased left a will and specifically bequeathed the gun to someone (anyone) other than the wife, the gun belongs to the named heir.
Cedargrove is, IMHO, well advised to just hold onto the gun until ownership is cleared up and a probate court judge decides where it goes.
