GUN TRUSTS

Ensure Your Guns Can Be
Inherited Seamlessly.

Trust as Owner

Creating a gun trust means the trust legally owns the firearms — not you. This keeps things orderly and avoids legal snags if something happens to you. It’s especially helpful with restricted items like suppressors or short-barreled rifles.

Maintain Control

A revocable living trust lets you keep control of your guns during your lifetime. That means you still decide how the firearms are used or stored, and can add or remove items from the trust — or change beneficiaries — as you please.

Bypass Probate

Without a trust, your firearms may have to go through probate — a public, time-consuming, and expensive process. Utilizing a gun trust enables you to pass firearms directly to your beneficiaries without court interference.

Keep Things Private

If your firearms are forced to go through probate, information about your collection, your heirs, and your plans will all be open to the public. In contrast, the contents of a gun trust stay off the public radar.

Avoid Annoying Taxes & Fees

A properly set up gun trust helps reduce or avoid the transfer taxes and legal fees of passing down firearms. It can also prevent costly legal mistakes that happen when people don’t understand the rules.

Skip Title II & NFA Problems

Firearms regulated by the National Firearms Act have strict rules and heavy penalties for mistakes. A gun trust is built to handle NFA items correctly and makes it easier for multiple people to legally use them.
