Re: List of NFA Trust attorney's by state?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: freerangevoter</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Got my Form 1 and a Form 4 back in roughly 6 months using the trust that Gun Trust Lawyer drew up. The Form 4 took an extra 2 weeks because the manufacturer of the integrally-suppressed
rifle did not list the barrel length on the Form 3 and I didn't list it on the Form 4. I got a request for the length from the BATFE in the mail, my FFL called the BATFE and they had us measure it by slipping a cleaning rod down the shroud. I Express mailed the form in and got the stamp about 2 weeks later.
My Class 3 dealer thinks that the trusts seem to be taking longer than filing as an individual, but overall I think it is the way to go and I'm very happy with the service provided by GTL. </div></div>

Who is "That Gun Trust Lawyer"? How much did it cost to have your trust drawn up and who was your transfer dealer?

TIA
 
Re: List of NFA Trust attorney's by state?

I found a lawyer that does nfa trusts in Springfield, Missouri. I contacted him and found out he was affiliated with apple law firm in Florida (guys who run gun trust lawyers). I thought since I am in Missouri, he would deal with me directly but he ended up directing me to apple law firm. Kind of a bummer. I couldn't find anyone local so I just went with guntrust lawyers.

Same thing for me when I contacted the one in Colorado.
 
Re: List of NFA Trust attorney's by state?

ALright. That's what I was feeling from the main site.

You guys mind sharing how much it cost?

I know, I know, if you got to ask......
 
Re: List of NFA Trust attorney's by state?

Oh, and OP... I'm still curious as to who you used for your transfer, seeing as that we are both in North Idaho (slightly OT).
 
Re: List of NFA Trust attorney's by state?

The cookie cutter (apple law firm) trusts are running $600. They seem to have the market cornered. They have local guys in most states that are affiliated with them. Like I said in my earlier post, found a local but he sent me to apple law firm.
 
Re: List of NFA Trust attorney's by state?

Arsenal Attorney's in Vienna, VA make a fantastic trust. I've read about 4 different trust and there's are very well written and tailored to the individuals they were written for
 
Re: List of NFA Trust attorney's by state?

I work with an attorney in Cincinnati area who is licensed in IN, KY, and OH. He is a gun enthusiast, and we have been drafting trusts, both NFA and full property disposition, for several months now for friends and acquaintances. He is not a member of the hide, so i thought I would give him a shout out on here. PM me or shoot me an email at [email protected] with any questions. Of course, here is the caveat that I am NOT an attorney, any advice will be discussed and confirmed with Jason first, who will most likely be the one to actually communicate that advice to you.

His prices are below average I believe, since I am using this as experience for the impending post-law school world. So I do the majority of actual drafting, and Jason is the overseer of all my work (down to the last annoying missed comma!). Fee splitting is prohibited between attorneys and non-attorneys, I might add, so I don't get paid anything other than my normal time rate, and will NOT hold myself out to be an attorney only two weeks after sitting for the bar. He does this more or less as a favor to me for my experience needs, so it really is kind of a win-win.

His fee includes all ammendments/changes/additions for the life of the trust. Meeting up with Rangerwalker71 to pay for my first suppressor in the am...Im excited!!

I think there has to be at least one other person to set up a trust. Or kids to leave the NFA items to. My understanding (quite limited so take it as you will) is that you are setting up an agreement with two people and placing common goods into that trust.
 
Re: List of NFA Trust attorney's by state?

It would be nice to find a lawyer in Idaho, boise preferred that can do the job! I called the lawyer that the op posted only to be referred to gtl... I'm finding it hard to pay two lawyers essentially. That would make this sbr process $800 into it....

Wisconsin, in the SE and Madison area (office is in Waukesha) is attorney Tom Grieve. Former prosecutor, now criminal defense. You hear him on the radio as a legal Q&A expert on firearms, firearm law, CCW, castle doctrine, etc, and he also writes for a few news groups on the same topics.

I used a guy here in Fl named Randall Baad @ [email protected]. I do not know if he can do your cross state lines, one of the more knowledgeable around here pipe in, but it was 250.00 for mine. Had it done in two days through email and a phone call.

Nope, you need a Trustee (Settlor) and a Beneficiary that IS NOT THE SAME AS the trustee. Lawyers can be idiots, so you know (or at least, they can mis-use the language just like the rest of us).

I guess I should clarify. You don't need two grantors, but yes you do need a trustee and a beneficiary. Language wasn't misused, I just didn't fully explain that I was talking about just the grantors, not beneficiaries.

Re: List of NFA Trust attorney's by state?

Has anyone dealt with "Lone Star Gun Trust" in Texas? I contacted this guy. He's out of Fort Worth and claims that he'll have the trust done and back to me in 3 days, he claims it's water tight, and he claims that his company does hundreds of trusts a year all over the state and all through email and fax. He sounds legit to me but I'm ignorant to the process. Oh ya, it's all for 250.00 bucks. I'm hoping someone answers back and says that they have used him and he did a great job. That price tag and his close proximity to home make him very appealing.

Re: List of NFA Trust attorney's by state?

I live in Georgia. Can someone explain the need for a trust? Do I require a trust to get a suppressor? Is the trust only required to pass along my belongings when I pass on to the greater beyond? Can I leave a Class III item to anyone in the trust?
 
Re: List of NFA Trust attorney's by state?

The trust bypasses the CLEO step plus fingerprints and photo's. You can leave anything in the trust to trustee's. The trust owns the weapon, suppressor or whatever you put in it.

My wife is not a US citizen and thats the only reason I had one made. I do get the added benefit of being able to swap out sbrs and suppressors with my brother though. Cuts down on some hurry up and by items. My biggest concern was if I died my wife would basically lose the weapons and possibly be in violation of a few laws. I say possibly because I assume the BATFE could use its own judgement in the case of a death.

I think the best thing is to go through someone familiar with your states laws. Every state can be a little different but some use the same guidelines. I did pay more for mine but I did it in a holy shit rush after I thought about the wifey doing 20 years for a few short barrel rifles and suppressor hitting the market if I passed away. She wouldn't know what to do with them.

If you are in Ohio, definitely give Steve a call. He was quick to respond to my questions and the process was completed very timely once the details were worked out. The price is more than reasonable as well.

Thanks again Steve!
 
Re: List of NFA Trust attorney's by state?

NNTX,

I would be happy to provide some references from some of our past customers.
My website is www.lonestarguntrust.com
I stand behind our commitment of getting your trust back to you within 2 business days and not over pricing my clients. The main reason I started this company is that I waited almost three weeks for my trust and paid almost double what we charge. I would be glad to answer any questions you might have.

Lonestar Are you an Attorney? If not does Texas allow anybody to practice law ie create Trusts for clients?

Craig Kubiak

KUBIAK LAW OFFICE, LLC
5605 WATERFORD LANE
APPLETON, WI 54913
(920) 882-2900

Amazingly fast turn around time. And stands behind the trust as long as he is practicing law. Also adds items for free to the trust until he decides to retire.

i see he is already listed here but just wanted to confirm he is still good to go!

he's not in it for the $ but more for promoting the shooting industry.

great guy to talk to.

My partner in the company is a licensed attorney and he is the one who executes all of the trusts. I never draw up the documents. We stand by our Trusts and we charge far less than many other attorneys in Texas.
