NFA Trust/Lawyer

i'm a Texas-barred lawyer (Harvard Law School, 2005) and would be happy to draft one for you. I'm a regulatory lawyer by trade, but i've done a couple gun trusts already for myself/husband and for relatives, all of which have been accepted without questions.

I've seen some of the trust documents Mr. Willi produces and frankly, they're a lot of unnecessary legalese (maybe to make the document feel more formal or impressive?). Good lawyers should write concisely and in a straightforward way; the fact of the matter is, if you would like a gun trust that's short, uncluttered, effective, and free to update,it doesn't need to be a massive 20 page document. The way i set up mine was to not schedule (agree with Me. Willi on that point), and I add to weapon inventory with a simple amendment doc.

I'm currently in early stages of setting up an online trust creation biz but looking to get referrals from some happy customers. My goal is to make the whole process straightforward (and not shrouded in mystery) for responsible gun owners! To that end, I'll provide you with a one-stop shop to get set up, and then also eliminate the need to see a lawyer again ($$$) each time you add inventory.

this means: (1) 3 notarized hard copies of your Declaration of Trust (i'm also a Notary Public); (2) a pdf copy of the Trust formation doc if you would like; (3) trust certification document -- this is the short form that verifies the existence of a trust and its essential terms, but doesn't reveal unnecessary details about your assets, etc.; and (4) a word doc or fillable pdf, whichever you prefer, of a simple Amendment to Trust document with clear instructions for how to fill it out for each time you add guns to the trust. all you would need to do is fill in the weapon information, print, and sign.

how about $50 for you to get the whole package described above, plus you provide me a short recommendation statement for me to use on my website (if and only if you are satisfied with the end product of course!)
