My questions that determines the answer would be, "Why would they need it?" and "What privacy/ intrusion protections do I have against big brother VA using it in some nefarious way?" As an example, Say a Veteran had a few firearms, and that Veteran wanted to leave them to his/ her children in their will. I have heard stories about over reaching VA officials trying to take firearms from Veterans who needed help with their finances by trying to say they are incompetent to own them because the can't look after their own bills. Would there be protections to keep this from happening?

The only thing I could ever foresee close to a will that the VA might need are any advanced directives you have in place relating to your health care, and then only if you're using a VA hospital for some sort of surgical procedure. If you would rather have the plug pulled than stay on life support indefinitely, this is something I'd inform the doctors of before I went under.

Aside from that, the VA doesn't need to know anything.

The VA doesn't get anymore information than they need from me. Since I don't use them for anything right now, they get nothing.
