It sounds like your brother may be the executor of your uncle's will.

He should do an inventory of everything that is being passed through the will.

He should also prepare a transfer letter showing who inherited the pistol, and under what provision of the will. If there is no will, probate may be involved. If this were going to your mother instead of you through the will, and she is declining the pistol this should be spelled out. The letter would define the pistol, characteristics, serial number.

I found a basic discussion about NY at: this site but it would be wise to find a local gun dealer / Class 01 or Class 03 FFL holder that should know the NY regulations well.

This discussion implies that a FFL should hold the pistol until you can get the NYS permit issued for it.

My condolences on your loss.
