Gun Trusts

Firearms are more than personal property — they are investments, legacies, and often, deeply personal symbols of trust and responsibility. Whether you’re a collector, sportsman, hunter, or simply a responsible gun owner, it’s essential to ensure that your firearms — especially those regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA) — are legally protected, properly transferred, and kept out of the wrong hands.

That’s where a Gun Trust comes in.

A Gun Trust is a specialized legal tool that allows you to lawfully acquire, own, use, and eventually transfer certain firearms, including suppressors, short-barreled rifles or shotguns, and other NFA-regulated items. It also allows for shared ownership and use by multiple trustees — which means you can avoid accidentally violating federal law by letting someone handle a restricted weapon without legal authority.

More importantly, a properly drafted Gun Trust:

• Keeps your firearms out of probate
  
• Provides clear, lawful instructions for transferring or selling firearms after your death
  
• Protects heirs from unintentionally breaking federal law
  
• Preserves the value of your firearms collection
  
• Allows for continuity in ownership if you become incapacitated
  

Gun Trusts aren’t one-size-fits-all documents. These are sensitive matters, and they deserve precision, confidentiality, and care. As a veteran and attorney who values the constitutional rights of responsible citizens, I understand both the legal and personal dimensions of owning and protecting your firearms.

When you work with me, you’re not getting a boilerplate trust. You’re getting legal advice tailored to your collection, your goals, and your family. I take time to explain every step, walk you through your responsibilities as a trustee or beneficiary, and ensure that you’re protected — now and for generations to come.

Firearms ownership carries serious responsibilities. So should your legal planning.

If you’ve invested in specialized or NFA-regulated firearms, don’t leave their future to chance. Call today to schedule a consultation and let’s craft a Gun Trust that protects your rights and your legacy — with the discretion and diligence it deserves.
