The xxx revocable living trust" and the "xxx revocable firearms trust" are not the same legal entity, just as John Smith is not the same person as Joseph Smith. The best approach would be to ask NFA Branch to correct it in the Registry. It will have to be done in writing. You should call NFA Branch and ask whom to addfress it to, but I would write a letter saying you are an officer of the "xxx revocable firearms trust" and that due to a typographical error, the Form 4 was submitted with inaccurate info, and ask that the Registry entry be corrected. You'll need to enclose a photocopy of the approved Form 4 and of the trust documentation. They should fix it for you. FWIW, I would do the letter part in duplicate, include a stamped self-addressed envelope, and ask that they stamp one copy of the letter "received" and return it in the SSAE. That way, you'll have proof you notified them, if you ever have an issue. |

So the above problem is an easy fix for a dealers screw up? Has anyone had to do this before? How about any experience with misspelled firearm model names? Would this problem hold up any other transfers with other firearms?

Assignment of Property (signed) 5. Instructions: Letter to the Successor Trustee 6. Letter to Successor Trustee (includes names of trustees, grantors, and beneficiary) Which of these are supposed to be sent in with the Form 4? I sent it all. EDIT- Found the answer I needed elsewhere- |

Maybe I missed it, but I've got my trust created and the engraving done. My question is when you include a "copy" of your trust, do you make a copy and have that notarized? Does the BATF accept a copy right off a copy machine or is there some criteria to make it an "official" copy.
It seems there are a couple ways to do this (Obtaining a notarized copy) Just wondering if that's necessary. Thanks. |

I had my trust notarized and then simply sent the BATF a copy ( I.E run the trust through a copying machine) of the trust. No need to have each copy notarized.

Thanks. I appreciate the response. With all the hoops it's surprising that a normal Xerox copy will work. I'll make sure the notary seal is very legible just in case.

Is it not advisable (or wrong) to have the lower you're going to SBR as the only item in the trust's Schedule A? It seems wise to me, but I can change it if there's an issue there.

One last question.. Now that I have the trust set up and sent in for approval, do I use the same trust lets say next month for a suppressor? Or do I have to make another trust for it? Thanks

My wife and I have an A/B trust instead of a will. Would this be the trust that I would use for an SBR and a surpressor? Do I need to set up another trust for just NFA items or simply add an addendum. Also if I add an addendum would I send in the addendum or the whole dang trust?

Thank you all for the helpful information.
Those with a trust, did you have witnesses sign it as well as have it notarized? My trust document has space for 2 witnesses and the section at the end for a Notary. Do I need these witnesses' names, signatures and adresses, since the notarization is what makes it bonafide? The language for the Notary section states " yadda yadda, before me personally appeared <my Name, trustee's name> and <witnesses names>, etc." Do I need to take 2 witnesses along with me to get this notarized? That's going to be a pain in the ass, and I don't expect random bank employees to sign and put their personal info on a customer's trust document, as witnesses. Thank you. |

For what it's worth, my latest Form 4 check was cashed on April 2nd.
I got a call Saturday from Dave at the Silencer Shop. He said the BATFE has 'some contractors' helping out with the backlog and that they kicked my App back because I put the word 'The' in fron of my Trust name: The XXXXX Trust. When my Trust was drawn up, it was just called 'XXXXX Trust'. We agreed that the word 'The' should be lined out to make the name: 'XXXXX Trust'. Nitpicking horseshit on their part, but he said they'll aprove it as soon as they get it back and I should have my stamp within a week to 10 days. That will put me about the middle of Sept for getting the stamp on an application sent March 27th. Right at 6 months.  Moral of the story....Don't put 'The' in front of the name of your trust if it's not on the title page. Copy it word for word the way it appears on your Trust's title page. Stupid mistake that cost me a week or two. Sheeesh!!!  |

If it is just a revocable living trust that gets created, is a tax id required?

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I haven't been able to find it in my searches...
Does the word "Trust" need to be in the name of your trust? For instance, can I name my trust ARAMP1 Firearms, or must it say ARAMP1 Firearms Trust. |
