NFA Trust - Who are the respected local guys?
And what's a general ball-park damage for an attorney crafted/customized document? Would like to make it so the immediate family can inherit and so my brother and father can also legally utilize cans in the trust etc.

Thanks,
-Jim

I'm in Houston but used Christopher Bass in Dallas. Everything was done via correspondence. I paid about $300. When you inquire with different people, also check to see how much charge (or lack thereof) to make amendments.

I was looking over Jim Willi's website and the part where he discusses not having a schedule A in his trust is interesting.  This intrigues me as I like the idea of not passing around an inventory if I don't have to.  Thoughts?

Does Your NFA Gun Trust Include a Schedule A?

No, and for very good reasons.  Some attorneys who prepare NFA gun trusts include schedules as part of their NFA gun trust, such as a Schedule A to identify all of the trust property.  Such a practice has two primary disadvantages for their unfortunate clients.  First, each time the client transfers property in or out of the NFA gun trust, the schedule must be amended.  The better practice is transfer property in or out of the NFA gun trust using a separate form, which is not part of the NFA gun trust.  Second, the ATF needs a complete copy of the NFA gun trust each time you mail in a new application.  Besides NFA firearms, other personal property such as non-NFA firearms (Title I weapons) and other collectibles  may be assigned to the NFA gun trust.  If the NFA gun trust includes a schedule that identifies all trust property, the customer unnecessarily provides an organized, detailed inventory of each and every item assigned to the NFA gun trust, such as NFA firearms, non-NFA firearms, or other collectibles to the ATF.  Why would this be a good idea?  Finally, more and more frequently, Class III dealers mail the package of documents that form a complete application to the ATF on behalf of their customers.  To do so, each time the customer buys a new NFA firearm, the Class III dealer needs a complete copy of the customer’s NFA gun trust.  If the NFA gun trust includes a schedule that identifies all trust property, the customer turns over, or broadcasts, a detailed inventory of each and every item assigned to the trust, such as NFA firearms, non-NFA firearms, or other collectibles to the Class III dealer, which, frankly, the Class III dealer has no reason to know about.  Also, once you turn over your NFA gun trust to the Class III dealer, you do not know whether additional copies will be made or stored online, who among the Class III dealers present or future employees have or will have access to the information, or to whom this information is or will be disclosed.
