NFA Trust - The Easy way

[Airwolfe1]

For those unfamiliar, an NFA (National Firearm Act) Trust is an acronym for a "Revocable Trust" used as an instrument for owning a firearm banned under the National Firearms Act and provides a more flexible means of ownership and a more streamline process for passing these type firearms on to your heirs. There are "do it yourself" web links and Quicken Willmaker software, but if you are not thoroughly familiar with the process or legal ramifications, a lawyer should be involved to discuss any questions. You could contact:

He is familiar with the process and has set up these types of trusts before, but he has joined up with Apple Law Firm to assist with drafting NH trusts. The product Apple has created is very very good and appears to cover all aspects. Apple takes all the information and drafts up the paperwork, after which Evan Nappen reviews the Trust as a NH Lawyer and makes any changes as it pertains to NH law.

Jennifer can answer all questions and take the pertinent information for setting up a trust. Although not the least expensive way of setting up an NFA Trust, the ramifications associated with mistakes that could be made by doing it yourself is just not worth the risk. The BATFE is not very forgiving when it comes to mistakes.

I just wanted to share some of this information.

NFA Trusts

Thanks "Airwolfe 1" for recommending the Apple Law Firm for NFA Trusts.

We are the Apple Firm's Connecticut "Partner Firm" and have done over 60 NFA Trusts, some with unique provisions.

People should be very careful before using any on-line forms, Quicken trusts and Legal Zoom trusts. They should also be aware that NFA Trusts are very different from the type of revocable trusts that we use for general estate planning purposes. Some of the on line trusts have been rejected by BATFE because they were invalid. Some otherwise valid revocable trusts do not have the proper provisions to transfer NFA items upon the original owner's death or disability.

The lawyer you use should be conversant with federal and state firearms law and with the National Firearms Act.
