Re: Living Trusts - Examples and Specimens
I'm not trying to say that everyone who had a lawyer write their trust wasted a bunch of money. I just want to know what someone has to worry about later on if they write their own and it gets approved. All I'm hearing from the guys with lawyers is, "mines more solid", "it gives me piece of mind" or "it's written with proper NFA verbage" If it requires a lawyer for proper NFA verbage how are all these improper ones getting accepted.
KYS338 said he went the lawyer route so his successor wouldn't have any trouble taking over the items. Now this sounds like a good reason to go with a lawyer. But then again who is going to cause problems for his successor if he didn't have it written by a lawyer? The ATF? Why would they deem the trust not suitable for the successor when it was fine when they accepted it in the first place?
I'm just looking for some answers before I go and throw several hundred dollars at a lawyer for something I could have done myself.
