Posted 18 Aug 2018 well it finally happened, someone bought a NFA item from me that has a trust and wants it transferred to it. I have zero experience with them . I am an individual, the item is on a form 4 here in Texas and he is a Texas resident. his trust is what I know as a "living trust" but NFA weapons are listed as part of the trust and mainly as assets. my question is if he is the only person in the trust that will have access and use of them while he is alive is he the only one we need to list and provide finger print cards etc for? his minor child is sole beneficiary of the trust. I am on my own with this paper work and any help/thoughts/warnings would be a BIG HELP for me so please let me know what you can.

Posted 18 Aug 2018 Hi Mike, the new trust laws require any one in the trust must include fingerprints and photographs with every transfer, unless several are in the same package along with a copy of the trust. 1 person likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted 18 Aug 2018 I was told anybody in the trust must be fingerprinted and photographed because they have access to the weapons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted 18 Aug 2018 I had heard the same thing from folks that did a trust just for that reason . that way family members and select friends had the legal use of them. I wonder if there are differences in the type of trust? IE; NFA trust and "Living Trust" with nfa as assets. ? I do know all his existing NFA has the trust as the "transferee" so its the legal registered entity of the arms. What I am faced with in this case is the ONLY other person named in this trust is the beneficiary a minor child under 8 yrs of age that could not possess or be in control of any of the weapons for quite some time under any circumstances . I guess I will have to take a chance, print the named trust holder ONLY and see what happens. thanx again for your thoughts ! mike I only accept postal money orders. contact me DIRECTLY before sending any funds email myoldiron@outlook.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
