Are there any drawbacks to using a money order with a trust?

I've used MOs before. These are the drawbacks.

It's sort of what I expected, I'd be interested to know if caused any additional delays or other hassles. So far

No delays. It was nerve wracking for the first NFA item I bought since I didnt know when it was cashed.



Like any other NFA paper work, just forget about it and get a pleasant surprise one day.

There's no reason to.  Just write a check from your personal account.  It doesnt matter who pays the tax, it just needs to be paid.

There aren't any other issues to using a MO. I just do a personal check, so I know they got it.

I have always used a money order.  Takes exacty two weeks from time I mailed it to them to see it went pending, so there are obviousyly no issues with time.

I use money orders and I know the Gov. will cash it . It's never failed, they like my money.

I've been thinking lately, what if your package gets lost?  
There's $200 in it.  Not a big deal if its a check, but could be a hassle getting the money back from the Post Office.

I've been using Money orders, but will probably switch to checks after these next two Form 4s.

Can't speak for postal money orders. However I have always used ones from my bank which are free for me. Just need to call the number on your stub to see if its been cashed.
