I've searched, and I've read, and now I'm more confused than when I started.
Is there any benefit to having a gun trust in MA if there are no NFA items involved?
If so, what are they?
How do you put your current (non NFA) firearms into the Trust?
Assuming the following situation. I create the trust, with myself, my wife, and kids as Trustees and Beneficiaries. I then put all four of my firearms into the Trust.
Does that mean that I no longer own any firearms (since they belong to the trust)?
What happens if one of the Trustees gets in trouble and can no longer own/possess firearms?
What happens if a Trustee gets served with a Restraining Order by an outside party? Do the guns get taken away? Or possibly not, because the Trustee doesn't own any of the guns.
I'm trying to figure out how a Gun Trust would protect me, my family, and both of my guns. And, yeah, I know I should talk to a gun trust lawyer, and I will, but I want to better understand things before I do that so I don't waste both of our time.
And, lastly, if I do want to add an SBR down the road, is it the same Gun Trust whether or not there are any NFA items involved?
Thanks,
