Have you actually used guntrustlawyers services? I followed a post on TGT by them and a few folks and they stated they most lawyers charge in the $600 range to set up a gun specific trust. I was just wondering if you felt it was worth the $$ to have them set up a trust for you.HKUSP45C wrote:If you're in Harris county, be prepared to go the "trust" route for your Title II purchases (machine-gun, suppressor, shortbarrel shotgun/rifle, destructive device, AOW .. ect.). The CLEOs here are loathe to sign a form 4 for ANY reason. Been that way as long as I can remember.usa1 wrote:ok now you've done it..i'm gettin one of those
These guys have a square head on their shoulders and can help you with the hoops:

A trust allows you to forgo the CLEO sign off, fingerprints and also has the added benefit of adding others to the trust so they possess and shoot your Title II firearms as well. Setting it up is cheap and trivial (particularly when compared to the cost of most transferrable Title II harware) BUT, I recommend you have a lawyer look at your trust before buying the hardware. The ATF will, sometimes, approve a transfer on a trust, scrutinize it later, then arrest the possessor for unlawful possession because the trust was inaccurate or improperly filed. Just watch your six on this process and it's as easy as changing a flat tire.
I understand most other counties aren't encumbered with idiot CLEOs and therefore potential buyers can get signatures with little problem.
ETA sorry for the thread hijack, I'll shut up now.
Sorry for the hijack.
