Gun trusts

[Phauxtoe]

What do you know about them?
Are they helpful?
Are they better ways to make sure my son gets them (my dads and my collection)?
Is something a lawyer must do?

(no NFA items involved)
Son is 20 and and avid shooter who lives in Ohio for college

Thanks

It depends. Who will be handling your estate otherwise? Is there likely to be reasons to go after assets of the estate? If its a spouse or child taking care of things just have them disperse your "personal effects" as they see fit or you have agreed to previously, or will there be squabbles?
One can get a trust done for a few hundred dollars either by a local attorney or mail order. It was the rage a few years ago to do you own but there was questions on the legality of it in the end.
I do believe under the unsafe that an inventory needs to be made and sent to the state. Probably check into that as well?

I only have one legal child, so no fighting. It Has more to do with possible upcoming federal laws. I want him to be an current active owner of the firearms, so there is no issues of confiscation after my death, if it comes to that!

You talk about the issues now with your son. Mine are in my will to him but he was told to take all ASAP upon my death on a long cruise.

Wow... Confiscation upon death! Really? Is there such a thing? I've never heard of it. Maybe a "surrender" or voluntary compliance!

But really... I checked the house, the car(s), the shed, the attic... Everywhere and didn't find a thing, no guns, no money, no hidden porno!

There was that boating accident a few years back too... I don't know, I vaguely remember him mentioning it!

That's it!!! That's my story and I'm sticking with it!

Have a wonderful day!

Remember they can pass all the laws they want, doesnt mean people will abide by them. This is what it is coming to in America. Lack of faith in the institutions set up to govern.

There is no advantage to a gun trust for ownership of Title I (non-NFA) weapons.

Trust in your son to secure them at your passing!

Certainly not anymore. I created a trust back when you could do everything online. A couple of sbrs and assassins tubes all form 1s. Now with the new scheme it's not even worth it anymore. I haven't done any NFA stuff since. It's a damn shame.
