Benefits of getting a gun trust
You are protecting your privacy
In most states, it is required that an executor files an inventory of the probate estate. Those are public and everyone can see them. Weapons are included in the inventory, the so is the market value of each item.
That may not be the best thing for you or your heirs, to be honest. However, if you own a gun trust your weapons will not be displayed for the public eye.
In case of incapacitation, you are covered
The laws say that if you are incapacitated and if you don’t have a spouse or significant other that can legally process the weapon, then you can’t own a weapon collection.
If you are creating a trust, the successor of it is able to take possession of the guns upon the incapacitation of the grantor and, as outlined and described in the document, they can distribute and do whatever they want based on the grantor’s wishes and intentions.
You will make your heirs’ lives easier
The whole process of having to deal with a gun that’s been inherited can be a MAJOR headache for your heirs. If you leave a large collection of firearms and you leave it as part of an estate, the process can be a pain in the neck and become a whole nightmare.
Having a gun trust will help your heirs avoid the whole circus. Contact a local attorney that is specialized in this kind of business and start the proceedings to get yourself a trust.
