My brother and I divided up Dad's guns equally when Dad's Altzhiemers went really bad. We made out a list of what we wanted and compared lists, they were pretty close. My sister only wanted a cheap one with family ties, grandpa's single shot 12 guage. When the folks passed what little was left was divided 3 ways. The grandkids divided up the household items. One child, not mine, wanted way beyond her share. When Dad, a WW2 vet passed, he had a military funeral. The same spoiled child, again not mine, demanded the flag. I took it and gave it to my son, the only grandson, Dad fought in North Africa, my son was a Marine who fought in the original desert storm. I told all the flag would stay with my son. Greedy whined but it was over. My kids took very little from their grandparents house, they said this felt like stealing from their grandparents and made them feel like vultures. Yet 2 nieces kept grabbing and loading, the same 2 who never helped when mom and dad were alive. After we divided the guns moms garage door broke she asked if we would each sell a coule of non family guns and giver her the money, I came up with half, my brother did not sell one gun nor come up with his share, my sister paid his. This is normally the way he is, I was so suprised the original gun divide and house sale went so well. Yep it was his daughters who took most every thing out of the house. Even though they looked like vultures I guess they didn't feel that way.
, put them in a box, gift wrap it and hand it over.
