Who to go to for NFA trust

[Darkpriest667]

Who should I be setting up my NFA trust through. I had planned on doing it early next year and I was going to use Sean Cody, but that is very obviously and unfortunately not doable. Do we have other people/groups we trust to do this?

Sean actually did mine years ago, but I never even met him.

I have known Marty for a number of years & would highly recomend him.

Last I heard, Sean's business will continue after a few months, I'm not sure who's taking it over, but if he named that person, they'll be trustworthy.

Yeah I was in the same situation (had been talking to him and planning to get it all set out in the next couple of months). I was planning to wait to see what was done with his business.

Y'all realize getting your trust set up can be done over the phone & internet. That's part of the reason I never met Sean.

Back when he did mine he had me come down to his office.

He sat on mine until he had enough do several at once.

Give me $50 and I'll send you a boiler plate. That's all the attorneys do.

No, a good lawyer makes you paranoid just enough to think that's going to fail!

Mine was reviewed by 6 attorneys. If use any others it's 10 years in the slammer.

I'd recommend an attorney that has experience writing NFA Trusts and not use a generic online one, especially if you have a family/dependents. I used Jim Willi, http://www.willi.com/

Need to make this happen too.

We used Texas Law Shield since we already use them for insurance.

James Willi is top tier.

As far as "boiler plate" trusts being as good as a lawyer.... not even close. It's the same as guys saying their $400 budget build AR is "just as good as a Daniel Defense or Noveske." Like both of those situations, many people may never know why one is better than the other and don't necessarily need the higher end items.

Probably true. But if I'm out plinking behind the barn with a budget build AR, there is probably no scenario where a quality difference that I don't notice could harm me. With an NFA trust, if (and that's probably a big if) the ATF gets very interested in me, then even if I don't notice a difference, they probably will.

Unless you lied on the info you must provide, if they take an interest in you, they will have to take an interest in thousands of others too. Not saying it is better than a lawyer drawn up item, but it seems good enough to cover the bases for the ATF requirements. Either way, if they take an interest, you will have a lawyer involved at that point.

As for $400 budget builds of AR's, they work just fine for what most of us use them for. They may not be "as good" as a Daniel Defense or Noveske, but work just fine for what they were built for usually. Not everyone needs that calibre of weapon.

Another vote for Jim Willi. He had been great with ms gamboolgal and I in setting us up.
We are total novices when it comes to the legalities of being able to purchase multiple Supressors, SBR's, convert AR pistols to SBR's etc.

I'm currently searching the archives here to see how/what the steps are for us to convert a Freedom Ordnance FX9 to a SBR by putting a real stock on it as we do not like the little brace thing.
