Most places that have registration requirements (even those which make new registration difficult) have language in the laws that allows for inherited guns, with out penalties, provided they get registered to the inheritor. Most places.

BUT, the best course of action is to find an attorney to ensure the legality of the matter. As noted, the NRA may be able to help point you to one who specialises in this kind of thing. Considering the value of a collection, and the possible legal penaties if the "i"s are not dotted and the "t"s are not crossed, the lawyer's fee is not a significant expense.

The legal firm handling the probate of the will should be able to ensure everything is done according to the laws, BUT they may not have people as well versed in this kind of thing as some specialists. Finding a gun law specialist, and having them available at need would be to your advantage.
