My NFA trust experience

[Rookie]

I decided it would be best for me and my family to have an NFA trust. So, I asked around (here) and people recommended Grant Liston. I emailed him and asked if he would be able to help. Almost immediately, I received a reply. He asked for the necessary information, asked a few more questions to fine tune it, and that was it.

The timeline...

October 7 - I sent an email asking about NFA trust. Grant replied.
October 9 - I receive my trust.
November 8 - I receive a bill.

That's it. Easy, painless, and quick. Worth every penny.

I can only echo the OP's experience. Did mine last Monday and had it by midweek. I have already sent others to Grant as well

Sorry for newb question but what exactly is a NFA trust and what are the benifits. I'm trying to do my research for a future SBR build.

Trusts do a few things. For one, they can allow anyone else who is in the trust to possess items in the trust, even if you arent present. So if you add your dad to the trust, you can loan him your SBR. If you didnt have a trust, or if he wasnt part of your trust, that would be illegal. The other thing they do is allow you to bypass the fingerprints, photo, and CLEO sign-off, however this may be changing in the coming months.

The reason I went with a trust is because I have a wife and adult children. I didn't like the idea of having to lock up an NFA item and not allow my wife to access it if I was not there. The other reason is that, sooner or later, I'm gonna die and it's easier to pass NFA items through the trust.

 

[dhamby]

Do you have to create a new trust for each additional NFA item or are they all covered under one trust?

 

[Huntinfool]

You just add new toys to your trust

Any additional fees for each item? My apologies for the questions in the OP's thread but the help is greatly appreciated.

 

[JoshuaW]

You still pay the $200 tax each time. Other than that, no, you can just add them to the asset sheet, no lawyer required.

Tax stamp are the only fees after you set up a trust.

Can my children be added to the trust later or what is the age limit to allow being included in it?

My 12 year old is on my trust. He can't own the weapons until he is of age. The Trustie's have control until he reaches age if something hapens to me. I do not know the process for adding someone to the trust after it is formed.

 

[hvacrguy]

If I already have several NFA items and then apply for a trust how do I get those items on the trust?

 

[Rookie]

New tax stamp. Sorry...

 

[1911ly]

It requires selling them to the trust. Paying tax again.

So I could add them in now if they are underage. I wasn't sure about that hence the question off adding youngins later. Thanks!

Yes! It's a lot easier then amending.
