I'm very, very sorry to hear about your dad, Marty. I lost mine when I was only 18. I still miss him every day of my life. When he passed away, I was the only one of his four kids who had showed any interest in shooting, so I got all of his guns. Here in Washington it was (and still is) as simple as just saying they were mine. Granted, I was obviously living in the same home, but even had I been older and out on my own, it would have been that simple, and still would be. Here in Washington. But, like others have said, state law varies. A lot. Make sure you check.
Beyond being guns, just having something I can hold in my hands, and sometimes even use, that belonged to my dad is hugely important to me. I have some of his tools as well (those did get divided up among us three boys), and still use them. I try to only use his hammer outdoors, during allergy season, so I have an excuse to offer my wife for why my eyes well up in tears sometimes... 44 years later...
Hang in there, and hang onto the guns. Even if you never really develop any interest in them.
