Several members here have used 199trust and can probably speak to how it worked for them. If you're thinking about setting up an NFA trust, this might be a good option for you.
Note: I am not a lawyer. I strongly recommend that you consult with your attorney to verify any state specific restrictions or laws related to NFA devices and/or trusts. Link left cold as Gear Hog is not an Industry Partner (and is kinda like Groupon): http://www.gearhog.com |

How timely.
I just changed my mind about owning NFA items. IN for more info about this outfit from people who have used them. |
|
|
Smoking deal, just sent it about 20 guys, also I went to 199trust website and they have their sale for $99, so this is even better at $69, chatted them up at 199trust and they said the gearhog deal is legit.

Was just talking with a few co-workers about forming a trust.
Thanks for the info. |
|
that is tempting.
I'm moving next year (same state), so my plan was to create a trust after I move. However, quick research is indicating to me that you dont actually put an address on the trust? Is that correct? Do you have to notify ATF that you have moved (again, same state)? With Efile wait times dropping, I could probably get the first SBR conversion done before my move next year. No more budget this year for a suppressor, but I was hoping to get one next year.
|
|
I wish I knew more about how the trust works regarding NFA items compared to Form 1 and/or Form 4...
I want me an SBR and maybe a can or three |
|
You can use a trust on Form 1 and Form 4s.
It's how you get around the finger prints and CLEO sign off. OP - I fent. After my thread about the 10.5'' effectiveness, I felt the need to get the NFA ball rolling so much money... |
|
Well, I fo'ed.
Anybody see how to actually use the thing? The link in the page to redeem it doesn't work ETA: Nevermind, figured the link out. User error ETA2: FO'ed AND Submitted. |

I worked at a law firm and had my boss look at my trust from 199trust.com. He has done trust/estate law for over 20 years and said it was good to go. I used it to buy my first suppressor and my form 4 was approved back in May.

Stupid question but can I purchase the trust now before purchasing or filling out any forums and sit tight until funds are better?

I'd like to start the wheels rolling on a suppressor purchase, but the money's not there yet. Can I fully set up the trust without any actual property in it, and then modify it later?

From what I read, you put a dollar bill into the trust as property, and then just add your new purchases as time goes on. Some people say you don't need to add any property to it initially, unsure of how accurate that is. *from reading about them this afternoon after my blind unplanned jump into trusts.

How difficult is it to update the trust? *from reading about them this afternoon after my blind unplanned jump into trusts. I got mine done at a gun store when buying my first suppressor, but that's how it was done on mine. IIRC, the Trust must own something for it to be valid. So an easy first item to own when opening the Trust is to place One US Dollar in it. Then as Grantor/Trustee of the Trust, make sure you always have One US Dollar available that is owned by the Trust, as long as it is listed as property owned by the Trust. Once you get the first NFA item placed into the Trust, you can remove the Dollar if you want to. |

What better way to learn than to dive in head-first! |

199trust.com is legit ( I got 4 cans on one of their trusts). This is a smoking deal.

I did my own a few years ago...I think I have about
$12.00 invested buying Quicken will off eBay...

how does this work? if i buy the trust right now... what do i need to do?
do i simply " buy" the product right now, and simply fill it out later? im asking because im not sure what information i need to put on it. peoples names? ss#s? etc. im tempted to buy it now.... if i have a little time before i need to actually fill anything out. |

How difficult is it to update the trust? You have to put SOMETHING into the trust. Many people transfer a bill ($1, $5, etc) into the trust... or a single round of ammo, or whatever the hell you want, but something must be part of the trust for it to exist. |

doityourslfdocuments.com
Use the paralegal option use code "summer" or "james" to bring the total to around 50 or less. I filled out the info around 11pm, took me less than 10 minutes and had my trust documents emailed back by midnight. They offer discounts for lawyers which makes me wonder how many lawyers are simply using this service when someone comes into their office for a trust. |

Interesting - do I do that on my own after the trust comes in? Because in the fields they did not ask me for anything like that. |

( most likely ar-15 lower receivers to build later seems to be the best way to spend the money right now. ) |

I've used it for 3 cans and it worked great. It is pretty thorough and covers most of the bases. I feel very comfortable having this trust.

Do the 199Trust documents have any known shortcomings or pitfalls that could bite me later? I'm thinking about stuff like adding more people to it down the road, or what happens to the trust if I get killed. After I create it (with my $1 bill), does the trust require any upkeep to remain valid?

Any disadvantage of putting one rifle in the trust as the first 'ownership' for the trust?

I guess only time will tell about any future pitfalls or shortcomings but I believe at this time there really hasnt been any for anyone. |

thanks,for the link, i ended up jumping on it, more money afrcom has made me spend
now just to figure out what do with it now that i have it. how long is the form 1 taking now? |
|
|
Set-up my trust through them in May (bought it when it was $99 though)
E-filed a form 1 for an sbr on 6/25 Got my stamp 8/16. |
|
Been wanting to do this for a while now.
Looks like I'll be putting together that sbr sooner than I thought. Thanks for the link op! |
|
OP is always finding deals and posting them here... My credit card hates you.
Now that I am waiting for the trust to get created - what's next? 1)Once I get the paperwork, go get it notarized? 2) How do I add that $1 to the trust to "activate it" and make it legit? 3) once 1 and 2 are complete, I assume I can run down to the local fun stuff store to order fun stuff, correct? |
