Estate Firearm Transfers

Transfer a firearm from a deceased estate, properly.

When a firearm owner passes away, their firearms must be dealt with in line with SAPS regulations, and the deadlines are strict. Getting it wrong can mean losing the firearm entirely.

We handle the transfer of a firearm from a deceased estate into your name, or guide the executor through the correct disposal process, with all compliance handled for you.

It's a sensitive process, and we treat it that way: clearly and without adding stress at a difficult time.
