The NJ FID card is needed for two things:

(1): To PURCHASE firearms (Rifles on the card itself, and pistols by getting a pistol purchase permit, which in itself requires you to have a card)

or

(2): To posess firearms outside of your home.

You do not need to worry about (1) above if you are a heir. You DO need to worry about (2) above if you want to do anything with them outside of your home.

You are an Heir: They do not need to have been specified in the will. Take your guns and enjoy them. All you can do without the NJ ID Card is to keep them at home. To take them out and shoot them you'll need the card, just like anyone else in NJ. Keep your guns at home for now, apply for an ID Card, get it, and then forget the subject. Nobody is going to hassle you about this, even in NJ. I can't think of anyone ever being harassed over this in NJ.
