The story is long and complicated. I'll try and simplify. My son is a 21 year old soon to be Army 2nd Lt. who has always idolized his Grandfather on my exes side. He's a retired Navy Captain who is a brilliant but quite troubled man. He's gotten himself in deep financial and now legal trouble. My ex is "holding" his gun collection as he's now not allowed to have them. Some of the guns have significant sentimental value for my son but due to his Grandfather's legal troubles he's told my ex to sell them to pay his attorney. I want to buy the ones my son wants to keep. How do we ensure he can't claim they are his even after money has exchanged hands? Simple bill of sale with his signature? He has claimed ownership of some things he "gave" to my ex to offset monies she has given him to pay bills in the past. I think a combination of him being a selfish ass and dementia are both at play here. Very sad situation. She is "done" with him after selling some things to help pay these bills off. He has mentally abused that poor woman since she was a kid.
