Well the ATF has talked about changing the way they handle trusts so that was enough to cause me to start a Va nonstock corp. Basically, this is a nonprofit organization and only costs $25 a year to maintain. You get all the other benifits of a trust like lack of sign off, fingerprints, and photo but without the legal lembo that might come into play.

Can you share with us how you set that up?

Do you think they would remove anything that has been registered via a trust if the ATF changes their mind?

I imagine that any NFA item that had a paid for stamp would be grandfathered if they rule that Trusts are no longer recognized.

I believe that the ATF 'to do away' with Trust transfers would be very difficult legally, as the ATF would virtually be saying that Trusts are not legal entities (like LLCs, S-Corps' etc) and are not recognized by the Federal Gov't. I don't think they would want to dabble it that water. YMMV.

What are the tax implications if you sell your trust assets? Also, if the trust is "non-profit" would that prohibit you from profitting from the sale of trust assets?
