What Is A Gun Trust

An NFA Gun Trust is a legal document that allows you to purchase, own, and use items regulated under the National Firearms Act (NFA) – things like suppressors, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBSs), and other Title II firearms.

Think of it like this: Instead of registering NFA items to you as an individual, you register them to your trust. This gives you several important benefits and makes life much easier when dealing with the ATF.

Why Would I Need a Gun Trust?

1. Share Access with Others (Co-Trustees)

With a gun trust, you can add Co-Trustees – people who can legally possess, use, and transport your NFA items WITHOUT you being present. This is huge!

Your spouse can take your suppressed rifle to the range

Your adult children can use your SBR for hunting

Your shooting buddies can handle your NFA items legally

Without a trust, no one else can touch your NFA items unless you’re standing right there. That’s a federal crime with serious consequences.

2. Easier Inheritance & Estate Planning

If something happens to you:

Your NFA items go to your chosen beneficiaries cleanly (via ATF Form 5)

No probate complications

Little or No risk of items being seized or destroyed

Your family doesn’t need to deal with complex ATF transfers

Without a Trust, your heirs face a potentially complicated and expensive process to legally inherit your NFA items.

3. Privacy

Trust ownership provides an additional degree of separation between you and the items held in the Trust.

4. Multiple Items, One Trust

You can use the same Trust for unlimited NFA items . Whether you own 1 suppressor or 50, one Trust covers them all.

How Does It Work?

The Key Parties

Settlor (You) – The creator of the Trust. You control everything and can amend or revoke the Trust anytime.

Co-Trustees (Optional but Recommended) – People you authorize to possess and use NFA items. Must be 18+ and legally allowed to own firearms. Considered “responsible persons” by the ATF.

Successor Trustee (Your Backup) – Takes over if you’re unable to manage the trust. Doesn’t need to be a responsible person unless they’re also a Co-Trustee.

Beneficiaries (Heirs) – People who inherit your NFA items when you pass. Can be minors. Cannot possess or use items while you’re alive.

The Process – It’s Easier Than You Think!

Step 1: Order your gun trust from 199Trust.com

Fill out a simple form (takes 5-10 minutes)

Receive your documents instantly via email

Step 2: Get the trust notarized

You and any Co-Trustees sign in front of a notary

That’s it – your Trust is now legal and valid

Step 3: Use your trust for NFA purchases

Attach a copy of your trust to ATF Form 1 or Form 4

Include fingerprints and photos for all responsible persons (you + Co-Trustees)

Submit to the ATF through your dealer

Wait for approval (E-File Form 1s can be ~30 days, Form 4s are longer)

Step 4: Add items to your trust’s Assignment Sheet

Only add items after you physically possess them

Form 1s: Add before submission (you already own the item)

Form 4s: Add after approval and pickup
