What is Michigan law on name change for firearms after getting married?
My wife and I just recently got married and she is changing her last name to mine. She has a few firearms that she purchased before we got married and I am wondering as ive never personally had to, should she contact someone for those? She currently has a handgun and a few rifles in her name, should she contact the police station or is there a form? She is waiting til the name change to get her cpl, but just more so wondering about the name registered to her handgun, as well as her rifles.

As long as there is a legal trail there would not be a problem. Not every woman goes out and gets a new title to a car just because they married. They often wait till it is sold and then show a marriage license to prove they can sign off the title.
A bank does not require documents to be filed when a marriage takes place.
The IRS doesn't care either as long as the taxes are paid.
Some wives never change the name on their drivers license or even SSI account.
But the paper work train exists anyway.

Your local gun store or shooting range should know, or know someone who's gone through it.
Generally though, old certifications, like HS diplomas or licenses, are still valid without notifying the issuing agencies.

There is no registration for long guns. Some handgun sales are required to be registered to local law enforcement. you should call your local police to see if she needs to do anything or not.
