A neighbor of mine passed away a couple of years ago leaving behind a 100 gun collection acquired over fifty or more years. He told his wife she should give them to family members. So she did. It started with a gift of one rifle to a nephew and in short order long line of distant relatives formed at her door. She was overwhelmed by the entire process. Most of these relatives had not been in contact with him in many years. The vultures flocked in. What could have been a positive experience became a complete mess. She knew that they wanted free firearms and not something to remind them of her late husband. This could have been avoided if he would have been specific in who would receive the guns. It might have been easier on the wife if he had asked to have the bulk of the collection auctioned off and and the proceeds could have been privately controlled by the wife for her personal use or applied to a prearranged charity. It was an unnecessary stress put upon the wife.
sure make you think. I do not know what happens to my stuff when I pass.my kid do not like guns she likes Hillary lol. maybe I will.call jeff tomorrow an tell him to bury it with me lol.
Why not give them away or sell them while your still alive and able. That seems like the best for all involved. I don't understand the holding onto the stuff until your dead or disabled.
Depends on how and when you die. You might be using your guns right up until the end.
Ya know, I'm really starting to like you.
The guy with the spreadsheet idea was definitely on to something. That and another person with the idea of finding someone trustworthy to be the executor (is that the right term) for the firearms.
I just don't get it When i die i don't give a **** what happens to them, I have enjoyed them and if i have not taught my offspring's my values SO WHAT they do is past my control
