I'm getting ready to submit a Form 1 for a SBR, and I'm getting conflicting information from the local class 3 dealer, who is also the attorney that wrote my trust. In the thread here titled "Complete guide of how to fill out Form 1" in regards to the Declaration of Trust it says " Be sure to send a “Certified True Copy” of the trust, which is a notarized COPY", but the lawyer is telling me all I need to do is send a photocopy. Now I only asked his advice because I bought my suppressor from him and he wrote my trust, I'm not having a SBR transferred to me, I'm building it on a stripped lower I have.

Anyway, who is right? When I submitted the paperwork for my suppressor two years ago the trust documents I sent were just a photocopy, it wasn't "certified". But then again my stamp was delayed an additional month because I didn't submit a Schedule A with my forms because he told me I didn't need to. Also, do I need to go to him every time I add something to my trust or can I just add it to the Schedule A myself? And do I need to put "Grantor" after my name on the forms? My trust says "Settlor"

and you don't need him to send it. After the trust is in your hands, you are done with the lawyer. Unless you want it amended. Then use him, if the changes are comlpex. A schedule A is an easy fix. My first one didn't have a schedule A. There was nothing to put in it. My was not delayed. I know, many put a dollar bill on the it.

Yeah, I was planning on sending the documents myself. So in the future when I want to do another SBR I can just amend my Schedule A myself?

BTW, are you in Memphis? I assumed "gotigers" was a Reference to the U of M.

Funny you mention that, I was just reading about it from the link of the gun trust lawyer blog.

Settlor, Grantor, and Trustor all mean the same thing.  I'd use "Trustee" on the forms, though, as it's the capacity that lets you currently act on behalf of the trust.

Gotcha, thanks. I'm probably gonna try the eform for this one.

That sticky is old and was never really accurate anyway.

A photocopy is all you need to send.
