I'm trying to create an NFA/ Firearms trust through a template from here: http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_6_17/334067_NFA_Trust_Sample.html

I tried editing this document to make it specific to Colorado. Since I do not have any children, only 22, I changed the beneficiaries to my Parents. Is this acceptable? They are in another state. I can upload my trust if someone could help me nail out any Colorado specific trust requirements I am missing. I am hoping it meets the ATF requirements. Thanks again for any help.

Have a lawyer draft your trust.  You'll get the peace of mind that it's done right.

FWIW I drafted my first trust in KS (I'm an IT guy, not a lawyer) and was not comfortable with it.  I had TheGunCollector's wife draft my CO trust for me, and I'm much more comfortable with it.  I've even started the process to transfer my NFA items from my first trust to this one.

Do it right the first time, don't regret it.

Ya that's true, I should go the lawyer route, I just figure since I have some college background with trusts I could manage this small NFA trust. What is the going rate for an NFA trust?

I had Guncollectors wife handle my trust as well. It was $350 well spent. I figure I have my expertise areas and so do they. Mine isn't law.

Unless you're an atty , pay one. GC's wife or Rodney NFATrustguy, he's in loveland. Like GC's spouse, great return time for any contact.

Lawyer up- it's cheap in the grand scheme of things.



I think I paid $700 bucks for mine.
