NFA/Trust Questions

General Firearms NFA
1

Hey All,

I am interested in registering a couple of AR-15 lowers I have as S.B.R.'s and am going to go the trust route. I already have my trust set up, which I took care of using Quicken WillMaker and had the paperwork notarized. I have a couple of questions however.

  1. Do I list the name of the trust in box 3a on the Form 1? The box says Trade Name (if any), I assume that would be the name of the Trust or Corp.?

  2. For box 10 on the Form 1 (Name and Title of Authorized Official of Firm or Corporation) I assume I would put My Name, Trustee? Is this correct?

  3. What exactly is the difference between the Certificate of Trust and the Declaration of Trust?

Thanks for any info that you NFA guys can provide.:smiley:

3a is an

if any
box . . . I’d leave it blank.

10 is going to be your name as it appears in the trust e.g. John Doe, Trustee - this is the printed name and title (as found in the trust) that should match the signature in box 9

INAL, but researching this myself for a AMD65 I intend to build. Check out this link for some good stuff on the issues http://arizonagunlist.com/How_to_buy_NFA_class3_weapons_with_a_revocable_living_trust_without_a_CLEO_signoff.html

There are sample forms at the bottom of the page, I found helpful.

Oh, the site I list above is the same one linked in the page Gotm4 mentioned if you click the
