Legacy Arms

The Executor's Firearm Checklist

Download a practical two-page checklist for securing, inventorying, and organizing an inherited firearm collection before a review or disposition decision.

Start with a calm first pass

The checklist covers access, authority, records, inventory photographs, family decisions, unusual items, and review preparation.

Keep the collection context together

Use the included snapshot worksheet to record count, location, authority, deadlines, retained items, and safety concerns.

Receive practical follow-up

After delivery, Legacy Arms sends three short emails about immediate organization, value factors, and the direct-purchase process. Every message includes an unsubscribe link.

Record what the family is keeping

Mark heirlooms and undecided items before discussing a sale. A written retained-items list prevents sentimental property from being mixed into the purchase scope and gives beneficiaries a concrete set of decisions to resolve.

Flag exceptions without handling them

Note firearms that appear loaded, damaged, modified, unusually configured, or supported by special paperwork. Photograph visible details and stop there. The checklist organizes questions; it does not require an executor to identify, test, or price every firearm.

Prepare a useful first inquiry

Legacy Arms can begin with the collection location, rough count, broad photographs, the representative's role, access details, and any deadline. Serial-number lists, exact storage addresses, and estate documents are not required in the initial web inquiry.

Will I know the process before the collection moves?
