| So my local class 3 dealer says he can do a gun trust for me for $50.00 for my SBR and future needs. Well can he do this? You think it would have to be something a lawyer would have to draw up. Also, if you are from Nebraska and have made a trust what was the process for you? Any information would be great thanks. |

Quoted:
I would never trust anyone other than a lawyer for legal advice/documents. I am not sure, but he might be able to legally do it, but if he does it right is another story; and its your ass if he fucks it up either way. My understanding is that it amounts to practicing without a law degree which is illegal unless he happens to have one or a lawyer backing the paperwork. Best advice is to check around and pay a lawyer to review one of the trusts you can find on the internet or have one draft one altogether. Really if you do some research and pull a sample trust you should be able to do it yourself. |

$50 is very cheap. Most attorneys charge $200-600. Anyone can do a trust, it's not too difficult, but only a licensed attorney can charge you for doing one. Many class 3 dealers say they'll "help you set up your trust" which is legal since you're actually doing it. I'm not sure it's technically legal for them to charge you for that "help."
FWIW many people have simple created a trust based on Quicken Willmaker (not 2011 ver.) and they've worked just fine. Check with some local attorneys who have experience with estate planning and it'll be a bonus if they have NFA knowledge. |

Dude get a lawyer, it's not that much money to know it's done right. My attorney Sean Cody, specializes in NFA and that's why I went with him. He took care of everything, and answers any questions and he knows everything related to it without a doubt. Plus it only cost me $450.00.
