A NFA trust lawyer is skilled at advising clients as to the best vehicle for owning NFA firearms, whether it is as an individual or as an entity, such as a NFA trust. There are advantages and disadvantages to using a NFA trust in order to own NFA firearms. One of the advantages is the ease of transferring assets in a NFA trust upon the trustee's death, as opposed to simply transferring firearms from an estate to designated heirs, which can be more problematic. A NFA trust also avoids the submission of fingerprints to the FBI in order to own a NFA firearm, which safeguards privacy and speeds processing time of the NFA firearm acquisition process. Plus, as a NFA trust lawyer can advise you, there can be multiple trustees to a NFA trust, whereas joint individual owners of a NFA firearm is usually not feasible.
