Palm City Firearms Planning Lawyer Did you know that in many cases, firearms may not be smoothly transferred to the next generation after the owner has passed on? And that even a firearm collection that has been in your family for generations may be at risk? Legal Consequences for Illegal Possession of a Firearm Many estate plans don’t specifically plan for the transfer of firearms, some of which require the approval of the federal government to transfer. Even worse, without the proper legal mechanisms in place, your loved ones or friends could commit an “accidental felony” simply by coming into contact with certain firearms. This is especially true for class 3 firearms and destructive devices. The penalties for owning one without the proper paperwork could land people in serious trouble with the law.
