ESTATE PLANNING
Not just for you. For whoever comes after you.
Your firearm collection is more than guns โ it's years of careful investment, memories, and family legacy.
When something happens to you, your family shouldn't have to figure out what you own, what it's worth, or what the law requires. The Collective makes sure they don't have to.
Most gun owners have no plan.
When a gun owner passes away, their family faces a painful and often legally dangerous situation. They don't know what firearms exist. They don't know what's NFA regulated. They don't know who to call or what forms are required.
NFA items registered to an individual cannot simply be inherited without ATF approval. A family member unknowingly possessing a suppressor or SBR could face federal felony charges โ not because they did anything wrong, but because no one told them what they had.
The Collective's Estate Planning feature exists specifically to prevent this.
Everything your family needs.
Ready when they need it.

Set it once. It works when you can't.
The Collective includes an optional check-in system. Set a time period โ 30, 60, or 90 days. If you don't check in, your trusted contact receives a notification with instructions to request access.
It's not morbid. It's responsible. It's what serious collectors do.
NFA ownership comes with legal responsibility.
NFA items registered to an individual cannot be transferred to a spouse or heir without ATF approval via Form 5. A family member unknowingly possessing a suppressor or SBR without proper paperwork faces federal felony charges โ regardless of intent.
The Collective auto-generates plain English NFA guidance for every item in your vault โ specific to how it's registered. Your family knows exactly what to do and who to call.
Give your family the gift of clarity.
