Estate Gifts
If you aren't prepared to donate your firearms now, you may want
to consider putting a provision in your will or trust. Should you
already have such plans in place, a codicil can be added outlining
the wishes for your firearms.
If you've yet to put together a will, you're not alone - 65% of
adults in America don't have a will or any type of legacy plan in
place. Unfortunately though, when you're without a will, you can be
sure government is standing at the ready with plans for your
estate, including your firearms. And the odds are pretty good that
it won't match your own wishes.
Additionally, statistics have shown that a wife will outlive her
husband by eight years. But far too often, wives know little about
their husband's firearms and thus can be an easy prey during the
grieving process.
Protect Your Lifetime
Investment
You've worked a lifetime to acquire what you own. Wouldn't you
like to have a say in determining where it ends up? If it's
important to you that your family and charity receive the bulk of
your estate, you better plan today.
As you're making these plans, be sure to think about who will be
in charge of your firearms after you're gone and whether they will
be comfortable with handling and disposing of them. If not, you may
want to evaluate whether a gift prior to your death is more
appropriate.
