Does family get them? Automatic confiscation?

If you have a will, goes to who you designate. If you don’t, your estate will distribute based on state laws or probate.

If you registered, then easier to distribute to your estate. If guns aren’t registered to you, be prepared to document ownership. If you can’t prove ownership, will be quite difficult.  Went through this a couple of times recently.

Honestly, what happens to my stuff (toys included) isn't going to be a concern to me at that point.   :sleeping:

All property should be shielded from the greedy state. You should have a current will based on the state you live in. 

You can do a will yourself with online forms in a few minutes.  Complete the form, print, take to a notary or lawyer, sign, and give a copy to your executor.  DO NOT put the original in a safe deposit box only you have access to. Even if others can get to it after your passing, shit happens that can make the will disappear (personal experience).

Keep the will in a very safe place.  The original needs to be presented to the county clerk by the executor for probate filing.  They will not accept a copy for any reason unless a judge rules otherwise under rare exceptions.  The idea is, if you want to completely rescind a will, you have only to destroy it.  Therefore, the lack of a signed original means there is no will.  End of story.

Give a copy to your executor so they know they are your executor.  Keep the original where it is secure but able to be accessed when you die.  Some let their lawyer keep it, especially if the family is a bit "shady".  Money makes people crazy.

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world;
the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.
