Who gets your stuff when you're gone?

Admit it guys, if she was conservative and not so simple-minded she wouldn't be half bad. No?
Not really, she claims to be a Muslim, yet does not even begin to live or show that she worships it's beliefs, she would be a total waste of your time.
 
I had my will setup 3 years ago for my two sons. Both are hunters and love reloading and shooting.

They sell my home and split it 50/50. Bank accounts, 50/50 after things are settled.

Fourteen rifles have been transferred, 20 or so to go. Components and tools to be divided as needed.

Both sons know better than to argue over my wishes, even after I'm gone.
 
I have my guns in my will. I have some notes with my will advising things that can be done with my brass and lead stash.
 
A good thing to think about. I don’t have any descendants that are reloaders or competitive shooters. A few are hunters and might be able to sell the stuff they don’t want on Gunbroker. I know some who voted for Biden and I’m tempted to put in my will that all my guns are Republicans, and are not suitable to be inherited by gun control advocates aka Dimmocrats.
 
A few years ago my wife and I looked critically at our financial situation and decided to hire a "fee-based" financial consultant and update our will. The financial consultant was money very well spent and the "will" part turned into a "estate plan" that included a "living trust", again, money very well spent. Our situation is very simple, we have two kids and our estate is set up to be divided between them equally, with our son as the administrator. They can divide up the personal property as they see fit. Fortunately, my son is a shooter and my son-in-law likes guns too, so my shooting stuff will go to good homes.

If you are getting up there as many of us are, and haven't done an estate plan - shame on you! Don't saddle your kids with that. And if you don't structure it correctly, you will be looking down (hopefully) and watching the IRS take a big chunk. Spend the money, find a good "Elder Law" attorney and get it done right. Then you can live out your years and never give it another thought.

Great advice. I review my will once a year or so to make sure everything is how I want and remind me of everything in it.
 
Will already set up. Everything goes to my eldest daughter, everything. She knows what my toys are worth. And, she’s a great shooter!
 
I have 3 sons and have started turning guns over to them.

Hopefully AckleymanII will show up and help them with the reloading stuff
and the stuff at the lathe.

I think its pretty much decided the Aclkeyman will get the baby spider I made
since it lives at his place full time anyway. I've forgotten what it looks like and might
need a little help in how to use it.

BTW, I'm in no hurry to complete these transactions-----got frustrated with all the
election crap yesterday and rushed out for some late trap shooting.

This is not a panic deal for me nor a sad time. I acquired some decent guns
to be sure these guys could have some later. Its a pretty good feeling to know there's
something of a plan in place.

In the meanwhile, I'll load, shoot and work at the lathe until I can't.

Last year I came clean with my wife. I told here not to give away anything to my friends because I have lied to you for years. My guns, optics reloading stuff fishing (you get the point) are all worth waaaay more than I told you. I’m not telling her how much it’s worth, I want to be around for quite a few more years. I told her when the time comes to get on this site and ask for help, people on here are honest and trust worthy. thanks guys!
 
I've been viewing my stuff differently. Since hitting a rough patch a couple years ago and selling a bunch, I am slowly buying. Why? Not sure except I can't hunt much and buying is like hunting. But I look at certain inherited guns and realize that my kids won't be as turned on as i was about them. I will still leave them to the kids...if they can find where i buried them!

I agree about the trust/will. My parents had a will, which ain't worth spit till yer dead. The trust was a HUGE help to me as I navigated my mom's last years with dementia. It opened up care, and left me an inheritance (and a place to live while I cared for her) that would all have gone to the stinking care facility had my Dad not had that trust in place. Every cent would have gone and I would be with nuthin. As it is, I have the house and a lot of pleasant memories. Make out a trust, now. Cover your desired wishes for care when you can't do it yourself or tell your caregiver what you wanted. AND go further...talk about what you wrote down,a nd what it MEANS to your trustee, so they can interpret it when you need it. I was blessed to know what my mom wanted, and though in some cases I differed in my mind with what she wanted, cause I knew what she wanted, I was able to make tough decisions in her interest AND in her stead, just as she wanted.

My kids will inherit a book for each gun that details is history, its meaning and how to run it, how to load for it. And a shovel to go get it now that Biden and Camel are looking to run the place..
 
Not intending this to be applied to any person represented within this thread by an image or any other means but;

I had an old friend who used to say "She could make a bulldog climb a plate glass window!"
A guy I used to hang with had a similar saying, his was" her face could draw a blister on a bulldog's ass".
