I have a few dumb questions:
What happens if all potential trustee's live out of the state where the trust is established? Is the simple answer that they just have it notarized in their state and forward it on to the next trustee? If the beneficiary is an infant (not mine), are the parents required to sign some sort of acknowledgement? Would I need a different trust for any financials I wanted to leave her as well? |

If you're planning to add financial assets, you should consult an estate attorney as well as a financial advisor... View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Originally Posted By AlabamaPaul:

Is there no right to privacy with a trust? Bought one of the gearhog 199 trusts and the dealer really don't like trusts since you have no right to privacy like if you do it in your name. I didn't know that

I am in the process of creating my trust now. I currently own 2 stripped lowers that I would like to SBR. Should I list these lowers on the trust right away, or wait until later?

I'm in the process of moving, does my trust move with me? What about the engravings that have the old city, state? What if I just submitted a Form 1 and have another to submit, but the move just happened, does the city, state on one lower differ from the city, state on the other? |

Great thread! I have a trust with a can on it already. I want to make an
sbr. How do I add it to my existing trust? Do I just add it to the property list? Do I do this before or after I submit my form 1? Thanks |

I recently set up a trust and have 4 items in jail. The process is much less intimidating than I though it was. So on to my question. I have 2 friends (brothers) moving to TX from CA in August. (I did this 2 years ago) Can they create a trust now and order silencers?
Here are a few more details. They are coming out to visit next month and can notarize a trust here in TX. They can also bring their small safe and leave it at my home. I would be willing to be a trustee. I could have access or no access to it. Not that they will receive anything by Aug. With this scenario is there any way they could start form 3 / form 4 100% legally before they move here? |

I have a revocable trust that I established in MD. I moved to KY permanently and filed the papers with BATFE. What must I do to purchase NFA firearms in KY? Can I just use the same trust? I think it might be just an addendum to the trust stating that it now operates in KY.
Thanks |

You might want to have a lawyer in KY to make sure there isn't some KY-specific wording that needs to be added. Most states simply use common language, so it's rarely an issue. |

while traveling to the range or shooting at the range with my silencer, does a PDF of my trust and F4 saved on my phone suffice, or do I need a physical copy of them both with me? In Colorado

If I already have a suppressor that I got through the "normal" method, can I create a trust, add it to the trust, and have friends as part of the trust so they can use it?

I got the impression that a trust allowed for quick easy changes? Is that not the case?

But the trust has to own it first, which requires a transfer from one entity (here, it sounds like an individual) to the trust, which would require a $200 tax and approved Form 4. Despite the cost, the advantage to doing so would be the individual owner, provided they are the/a trustee to the trust, continually posesses the NFA item. |

So what is to stop me from adding someone else to the trust and then removing myself and walking away with a couple hundred bucks?

A: Once an application has been approved, no documentation is required to be submitted to ATF when a new responsible person is added to a trust or legal entity. However, should a responsible person change after the application has been submitted, but before it is approved, the applicant or transferee must contact the NFA Branch for guidance. |

I’ve got a trust I had made 8 years ago in PDF format. I want to remove trustees because of 41F.
Anyone modified the trust themselves successfully? Any tips? Under the trustees portion, do I just put “None” |

I didn't read the many pages of posts so my apologies if this has been asked and answered.
Can I add my wife as a trustee after there are NFA weapons on here? Would I need to submit photos and finger prints for ever gun? |

I have an NFA trust that I used to purchase a can with pre 41F. How big of a deal is it to remove two other people from the trust for ease of filing for other items? If I decided to just get another trust put together for future purchases, is there an online solution that's safe and cheap or is it better to go through a local attorney?

If Person A creates a trust in one state can they add another trustee living in a different state?
Are trusts only to exist in the state it was created in? If person A dies can items in the trust go to the second trustee living in the other state? (the items are legal in both states). |

View Quote No Yes It will be dependent on the trust being valid in both states. Most use common language (brain fat on the term right now, unified code of something)...but some state said may have specific requirements as to what wording can (or cannot) be included. |
