When it comes to estate planning, guns are not like jewelry or tools. Instead, they raise a host of unique legal issues, including who can possess them, how they can be transferred, and whether a particular type of firearm is legal to possess at all. Because of these complex rules, it’s a good idea to consult an attorney when planning or administering an estate that includes firearms.
I spoke with Toby Mathis about some of the most common issues, including how firearm trusts can help protect family heirlooms, simplify future transfers, and help preserve a collection’s value. Watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UCkikdSXzb0.
