When an estate includes firearms, your client may be faced with an asset they know little about its value, how it should be handled, or what options are available for its disposition. For attorneys, executors, fiduciaries, and estate professionals, this can introduce an unfamiliar and potentially complex and dangerous issue into an already demanding process.

Safety Protocols
If you or your staff are not completely comfortable or experienced handling, clearing, and securing firearms, do not attempt to touch, unload, or manipulate them. A substantial percentage of estate firearms discovered in residences, whether tucked into nightstands, stored behind closet doors, or kept in basements, ARE LOADED. Many have remained cocked or chambered for decades. Keep the immediate area locked and secure, then contact New England Ballistic Services. Our licensed personnel will conduct an on-site intake to safely unload, clear, and inventory the weapons.
