So I'm updating the will and am thinking about the best way to provide a value on my gun collection. Since I'm not planning on dropping dead tomorrow, I want to somehow put in place a process to best determine the value of my gun collection instead of just saying "the value of these (today) is x".
There's the trusted friend route - you know, where the trusted friend comes over and helps the grieving widow out. Of course the trusted friend may also kick the bucket. Or marry the grieving widow and get all the guns for free.
Then there's the trusted dealer route. "Dear Wife, call one of these three guys to come over and help you value the collection."
Then there's the "The minimum value of these guns at collection are x."
And finally, "The value of this one is x, the value of that one is y, etc."
While I might think that my wife and kids might like the guns, they also might want just some of them and cash for the rest. The collection is large enough to where I think it unlikely anybody but me (or one of you) would want it.
So... if you've thought about this, what are your plans?
