The rules which apply to the ownership and transfer of firearms differ significantly from the rules which apply to more “typical” assets in the estate such as real estate, investments, life insurance policies, and other tangible personal property. This can put fiduciaries and their advisors at risk of unknowingly running afoul of Federal, State, and Local laws, jeopardizing assets of the estate, and creating personal liability. This presentation will focus on the rules and regulations surrounding the ownership and transfer of firearms in an estate as well as their practical application.\n \n \n \nCE\n \nCPE Learning Objectives\n \nUpon completion of this course, you should be able to:\n  \nUnderstand the rules and regulations surrounding how to properly transfer firearms\n   \nProvide advice to your fiduciary clients regarding how to handle firearms in an estate\n   \nDetermine when a client should consider the use of a separate firearms trust in their estate planning\n  \nDelivery Method: Group-live setting\n \nEarn 1 CPE Credits for this session.

We will discuss the Federal, State, and Local laws involved, some of their history, and some practical applications of those laws to the administration of an estate. We will also discuss the potential liability exposure that a fiduciary and their advisors may face in providing guidance to their clients on these assets.\n  \nLearning Objective(s): \n  \nParticipants will learn how to identify when a firearm within an estate requires specific handling, when they may need to bring in an expert, and when the additional regulations do not apply.\n  \n \n \nLevel of Complexity Overview\n \nBio:As Estate Planning Consultant at Moneta Group, Christie Schmuke serves as Moneta Group’s in-house estate planning resource.
