Trust or not?????

<< < (2/4) > >>

bkoenig:
If you have a trust any of the people named in the trust can have physical possession of the NFA item.  Other people can use it if you are present.

If you don't have a trust only you can can physical possession.

..... but other may still use it in my presence, correct?

Yes, that is true.

Additional benefits of trusts:
no LEO sign-off (for now -- they're considering changing this)
if your significant other is a member of the trust, it's no big deal for them to have access to your gun safe
you can e-file for your items (so far, it has proven much faster to get your stamp by e-filing)
you can add members to the trust later (think children or a future spouse) so they can legally posses the NFA items.

on the fritz:
OK.  Cool. 

So a trust costs more but saves the hassle of a CLEO sign-off.

What happens to my suppressor or SBR, etc. if/when I die?

A good trust will include instructions about what to do with your NFA items. However, I believe even without a trust, an item can be transferred with a form 5 (someone check that for me) upon your death. I know some guys just fill out a form 5 (again, I think that's what it's called) and keep it in their safe with their items, so their surviving relatives can fill it out with very little effort.
