My Brothers Estate

[dougtrr2]

Going through a licensed gun broker might be the safest option.

I think it would be the easiest. It doesn't sound like you are worried about squeezing the last dollar out of the estate. So letting someone else take care of this headache will ease your burden. Maybe a little less money, but a whole lot less headache.

Hang in there.

"He had a lot of automatic payments set up that I don't want to continue to pay. Things like Direct TV, the electric bill and his truck, plus some subscriptions to magazines and other things that kept adding up to several grand a month. I'm just going to let them all cancel themselves."

Freezing the account so you get notifications of these obligations is a good idea. I wouldn't assume they will cancel themselves - they will just keep accumulating charges and late fees. I would recommend that you manually cancel these accounts once you are aware of what they are.

There are so many things to reconcile, and it sounds like you are doing a good job.

Advertise on Gunbroker.com You'll get a "national audience" to see what you have to sell.

Thanks, I wasn't aware of this website. I'm going to read up on what it takes to sell on there.

I'm running out of options on the safe, so it's becoming more likely that I'm going to use the grinder and cut a hole in the door.

I think you will have to be more proactive on any payment accounts he had. Send them notice of death notices to stop penalties and claims against the estate.

Eddie, Cut through the back or the side, you'll find it much easier than cutting through the door. the doors to these safes are impressive, the other 5 sides, not so much.....

If the safe is worth more than $100, spend the money on a locksmith. You can then keep or sell the safe, and it won't take that locksmith more than 5-10 minutes to get into it.

Had a issue with my first Cannon, the locksmith was in no more than 4 minutes I would guess. He was local, costs me $50 but that was a while ago.

Cannon safes are the easiest to break into for a locksmith IMO.
