This has always been my position and the reason I only draft them for folks in my state. I believe drafting a trust for someone in another state (which you are inherently warranting to be a valid trust in that state) would be considered practicing law in that state. I haven't looked at any statutes or ethics opinions on this so, I stand to be proven wrong. Just my $.02.

Thanks for all the replies but i was hoping to find someone semi-local. Kinda old fashioned I guess but still prefer face to face when possible. I don't really care if they just do "gun" law, but would prefer if they could spell NFA.
