Lock and Load: Put Your Guns In A Gun Trust

David Goldman (Attorney at Law, Apple Law Firm PLLC) posted a blog on the Florida Estate Planning Lawyer Blog about an an article he published entitled, A New Breed of Gun Trusts – Protecting Firearms Collectors & Their Collections, Ammoland, Apr. 30, 2012. The introduction to his article is provided below:

The topic of estate planning is not usually met with joyous optimism.

It conjures thoughts of the after life, financial planning, and lots of paperwork.

For these reasons, people often avoid the estate planning process altogether. No bigger mistake can be made, as the ease of creating estate planning documents and the protection they can afford are unparalleled.

With the help of a Gun Trust and Estate Planning attorney, the options are endless when it comes to protecting your firearms. Traditional estate planning can be problematic when dealing with firearms, because the documents used to manage your bank accounts often instruct people to violate laws when applied to the transfer, possession, and use of firearms. A Gun Trust is an estate planning document that has been designed to help you acquire, manage, use, and transfer firearms including those restricted by the NFA while protecting your family and friends from inadvertent violations of state and federal laws.
