Make sure you have a plan for where your gun collection goes when you move on

An elderly gentleman I know has been slowly selling off his collection due to his age, all along adamant that his collectible pieces wouldn’t end up with his grandchildren who wouldn’t appreciate them (He told me that several times).
Fast forward a bit and a health setback paused the process and put him in a home. He still has a few pieces he wants to sell but now the family has the guns in their possession and is saying the guns were ‘promised to them’. I am skeptical.
My point, if you have a collection make a clear plan of where everything should go, or don’t wait until you are very old to start selling it off.

stop trying to buy guns from dying people.

What guns?
Posted on 9/27/18 at 5:00 pm to weagle99
Getting this in order is real good advice. I've seen more than one family fight over their father's guns. For some reason the guns have so much more emotional pull than almost anything else. If you write a will, put it in your will, which guns go to which heirs, or at least write down something. The last thing any family needs is fighting over stuff after a parent dies.

Nothing brings out the worst in some people than a death in the family and there's fighting over what's left behind.
I've seen this far too many times and that is why I have an iron clad will saying who gets what.
What they do with it afterwards is up to them, but at least nobody will be fighting over my possessions.
When my mother-in-law died some of her family came out of the woodwork that hadn't done shite for her or with her for years and they were the ones that wanted whatever they could cart off from her apartment.
The funniest was her almost 60 yr. old daughter-in-law who wanted some of her clothes. The old lady was a size 2 and the daughter-in-law was at least a size 14. She got ran off real quick.

Going thru this with a recently-deceased great aunt. She left me a pistol and a nice wingmaster 16ga. Some cousin I've never heard of says her husband deserves it bc blah blah blah...wants me to "do the right thing" and give it to him. I purposely called her the wrong name to her face 2-3 times to show her I didn't know who she is or cared to learn.

An attorney buddy told me not long ago that probate lawsuits are going to be the personal injury of the future.

My grandpa died in 1990. He was 64. He had a list of every gun he owned and the serial number with what kid or grandkid it went to. He had around 50 guns. I inherited a couple. My grandma is 92 and still talks about it.

My son gets my entire collection. Which includes a gun from each generation back to my great grandfather, although the bulk will be from me.

On the same topic, make sure your beneficiary named on your life insurance policies and retirement accounts is who you want to get them.
I know of two families where pops divorced but never took the ex-wife off as his beneficiary. He remarried, had kids, etc. Died decades later, and the hated ex got it all.
Some states have laws that presume you mean to take the ex off if you divorce, but Louisiana is not one of them. Named beneficiary gets the $$. Loving family gets the shaft and a bitter memory of what a dumb-arse pops was.

I'm an attorney and I disagree. I've done many successions and only a small percentage involved greedy relatives fighting over the property. Human nature can be ugly at times but in my experience the heirs and legatees usually do the right thing.

I resemble your statement, 3rd wife convinced dad to take me off his 401k as beneficiary and create a will with her in mind. He creates a new will but doesn't change his beneficiary so she walks away with the loot. His succession legal fees are +$65,000 right now but we do have a finish line date.

When someone dies, people magically think they were closer to that person than they really were. I don't understand it at all, but I've seen it happen multiple times without money involved

Same here Tigre, however, if one wants to nail it down, the only way to do it is in a will.

Can or should non-NFA firearms be put in a trust?
