As an executor or heir in Orlando, selling an inherited gun collection can feel daunting, but it’s manageable with the right guidance. Florida’s 2025 laws allow gifting or selling inherited firearms without additional taxes, but compliance with ATF regulations is critical to avoid legal risks. 5 You must ensure buyers aren’t prohibited (e.g., felons, domestic violence offenders) and verify no unregistered NFA items (e.g., suppressors) are transferred without ATF approval. 20 Our Florida gun laws guide provides 2025 updates for private sales, requiring no background checks but age verification (18 for long guns, 21 for handguns). Check FDLE’s firearm rules for details.
Yes, as long as you follow Florida’s private sale rules and ATF guidelines. Accurate Gun Auctions handles all compliance, making the process seamless. See our executor guide for estate-specific steps.
