Last week, I underwent a 6.5 hour neurosurgery. In preparation for that risky procedure, I started well-ahead, making preparations and assurances for both my daughter and my wife. Most important, the preparations were for my peace-of-mind…that my desire would be carried out with no interventions by family, friends, agencies or courts.
How many of you have a detail of your firearms collection, firearms accessories and sporting goods that you own detailed and included in your will? Specifically regarding the firearms, have you included the make, model, finish, serial number, associated accessories, cost at purchase and replacement worth? In addition, are there color photographs of all of the firearms, accessories, supplies, the supply of ammunition, etc? Have you detailed who is to receive each (all) firearms, and when (at what age)? If your child is to receive them, have you detailed that the child is not to be pressured, encouraged or influenced into selling, trading or using the items as loan collateral, etc? Have you detailed who will store, save-guard and insure the firearms, etc. until the child is legally able to take possession?
For my part, I have. All of these details and much more were included into the will. Even though my daughter is only 12 years old, she too signed it along with my wife, as proof that all understand my expectations. Think about this…do you want some judge sitting on his Anna Nicole throne telling your minor child what the poop he or she wants? Seems to me that the purpose of a will.
Just my thoughts,
