Trust

[Guest DEIMOS]

I have purchased a NFA weapon. My best friend made me the rifle and will be transferring it to Tn. I will come home on leave and take possesion. Since it can take up to a month for the form 4 to come back, and the possibility of the CLEO in Cleveland not wanting to sign off on the form, my freind suggested the revocable living trust. With the trust, I will avoid the fingerprinting and such, since the NFA portion will belong to the trust. I can have the form 4 mailed to me, fill it out, attach the trust, and it will be approved and waiting for me when I get home. This way I don't have to race to try and get everything done in the few weeks I will be home.

Now, does anyone here have experience in this area? Is there something specific to Tn. about trusts and NFA weapons? I really don't have a clue but I am trying to learn as fast as I can. Just hoping someone here has BTDT.

If nobody responds, PM ETS or Hero Gear. They have experience in the NFA/Class 3 type info.

I set up a Trust to build my SBR. In Tn all you have to do is get the Trust and Certification of Trust Notarized, then they are OFFICIAL. Keep your Trust Document in a safe secure location, mine is in the safety deposit box. Keep the Cert of Trust with you and make copies when you want to purchase items with your Trust. REPEAT - When you send in your Form 4, send a copy of your Certification of Trust, do not send the actual Trust.

If you have anymore questions or specific ones let me know.

Pretty much what everyone says is: get quicken will maker, fill out the trust, get it notarized. That is pretty simple.

I am stationed in MD for the next 2 years. Supressors are legal in Md. as well as Tn. so no problems there. I will get the trust notarized here before comming home on leave. Does Tn. take issue with a trust notarized in another state? I am just trying to get all the legwork done now, instead of burning up my leave fooling with it.

I do not have a specific answer about being notorized in a different state, but nobody is required to look at the document, so I do not see it as a problem. Try calling the BATFE and see what they have say about it. You could always get the paperwork together and get it notorized at a bank when you get into town.

Is there specific language that I need to be worried about?
