The "Safe Harbor" Standard

Firearms are distinct from any other estate asset. When a life transition, such as probate, divorce, or retirement, introduces firearms into the equation, families face immediate legal and financial burdens.

โ€‹

MDRF Enterprises provides a "Safe Harbor" solution for Saint Louis fiduciaries. We are not just appraisers; we are Technical Acquisition Specialists. We identify the Fair Market Value (FMV), provide a certified appraisal for your legal records, and facilitate the immediate acquisition of the collection into our FFL inventory. We resolve the assets, the paperwork, and the liability in a single, documented visit.

โ€‹โ€‹

We commonly help with:

  • Firearms in estates and probate matters

  • Firearms involved in divorce or separation

  • Firearms retained or sold after a death or inheritance

  • Downsizing collections before retirement or relocation

  • Guns discovered during cleanouts, rehabs, or property transitions

โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹โ€‹

MDRF Enterprises is a licensed firearms professional service based in Saint Louis, Missouri. We are not a retail gun store. Our work focuses on certified estate firearm appraisals, legal documentation and fast cash liquidation for families, and estate professionals navigating life transitions such as estates, divorce, retirement, and property cleanouts. We provide clear explanations, accurate valuation, and lawful handling of firearms so clients can meet their legal responsibilities and move forward with confidence.

Core Solutions for Families & Fiduciaries

1. Immediate Estate Asset Acquisition

We provide a direct liquidation path for firearm collections. Unlike auctions that take months to settle, MDRF provides immediate liquidity for the estate. We coordinate the acquisition of the entire inventory, allowing executors to close probate files without the delays of consignment or commission fees.

โ€‹

2. Certified Valuations for Probate & Divorce

When you must document value for the court, the IRS (Form 706), or insurance, we provide USPAP-compliant written reports. Our dual-certified (CAGA/AGI) status ensures your documentation is legally unassailable and provides the due diligence required for equitable distribution.

โ€‹

3. Secure Asset Recovery & NCIC Verification

For professionals managing property rehabs or total cleanouts, we provide secure removal and NCIC verification. We ensure no "contraband" firearms are left on site, protecting the estate from future liability and ensuring all hardware is handled by a licensed professional.

โ€‹

The MDRF Triple-Standard: Certified, Licensed, Decisive

We provide a level of fiduciary protection that generic shops cannot match. Every acquisition is backed by:

  • CAGA Certified Personal Property Appraiser: National standard valuation methodology.

  • AGI Certified Firearms Appraiser: Forensic identification and technical analysis.

  • Licensed FFL & SOT: Federal authority to legally secure, transport, and acquire all firearms, including NFA-regulated items.
