The death of a loved one is a very difficult time; the grieving process is different for each person and can extend over years. One of the hardest things to be faced is the distribution of a loved one’s tangible personal property (aka “things”). As a gun owner, this process at your death can be even more difficult as there are very specific laws to be followed especially in light of the New York State SAFE Act. If you make plans now for the proper disposition of your guns, or leave detailed information for your executor, you will be doing a tremendous service to your family.
