Trusts Outside of State of Residency

Hello,

I was just wondering if any of you have experiences with Trusts in other states?

I live in No. VA but never have/make time to shoot here…I have most of my weapons in a NFA friendly state out West. I am in the process of SBR’ing and suppressing a rifle but I do not want to have to show my SBR at Regan National everytime I go out West to shoot.

So I was just wondering if it is possible to be listed as a trustee on a trust including the person holding/using my weapons (my father in this case) and still be able to shoot that when I am out West…have any of you run into similar issues???

I realize from the info in your forums that this is worth having an attorney look over, and I will be doing that, but I just wanted to see if anyone else has experience with this before I pay the consultation fee!!

I appreciate your info and the insight on this forum, and for this reason I have come here!

Thanks in advance!

Bump for more info - must the trust be from the state where the supressor is stored?

What if you move? Do you have to create a NEW trust in your new state- and it so, wouldn’t you have to pay $200 to transfer from “State A” trust to the new “State B” trust?

I though that registered Title II owners (ie living people) were allowed to move from state to state with the Titel II guns they own as long as they inform BATFE - so is a Trust allowed to move? Or is it forever stuck in only one state? What about interstate corporations?

What about a husband/wife? If they divorce and move to different states, but they are still on the same trust for a supressor, WHO is allowed to possess the supressor and WHERE?

Trusts are looked at just like corporations as far as I know.

Companies always incorporate in other states where the laws suit their needs better.

You do technically need to fill out a specific form each and every time you cross the state line with an NFA weapon.

You could probably fill out a form with several dates at once to cover you for a month or two at a time. Ask your examiner. It’s up to them anyway.

This is definitely one of those questions that is best asked of a lawyer who specializes in these things.
