    Let me expand on my statement…

    About two years ago I decided to get in to the NFA game. After some research I decided to go the trust route rather than individual filing. I found a lawyer in my state (Florida) that charges $300 for a trust. I had a few other non-NFA things that needed to be addressed as well. He spent another 30 minutes and charged me $600 total. So, I paid $300 for 30 minutes of his time. Did I over pay?...

    Flash forward 18 months. I recently had a problem with the NFA. I called up the lawyer, who quickly stepped in on my behalf, filed some paperwork with them and got it straightened out. No additional charge. Could I have resolved it myself? Possibly, but it would not be worth the risk of screwing it up. Also, the time involved on my end was just a couple of phone calls and some stamps.

    So, the question of this post really should be: Who are you going to call if there is a problem with your discount trust?

    I once asked the lawyer what would happen if the document just got published online, for everybody to copy and use. He said “no problem!” The document is not the most important thing. You are paying for the SUPPORT behind the paperwork. I am sure he (and every other lawyer…) waits for the days when someone calls with a problem they have with a cheap trust… I’m sure the screws are really tightened on their nuts that day…

    In my case, the cost in terms of time and money to un-**** the problem would have been way more than the $600 I spent. There are better ways to save a buck…

    How is the quality of the trust? Does it look like it came from a lawyers office or like they used quicken or something? Was it specific to your state?

    Not sure why, but he PM'd me the response to my question for a review. It was certainly positive:

    I received it in a word document. It looks very detailed to me. They said it was specific to my state.

    Have you done a trust before? Or looking for one?

    To me, that's not positive so much as it's "I don't know what I'm looking at, but it looks official to me!"

    Whining in a forum that people have seen your thread, but not replied, reeks of an odd brand of desperation. - Me

    Titling your thread "To XYZ or Not to XYZ" will cause me to completely ignore your thread.

    It's "I have zero qualifications whatsoever, but using those qualifications, it seems legitimate."

    It's like saying you've never fired a gun in your life and have done zero research, but bushmaster seems to make a good AR-15.

    The thing about legal documents is that it can look very legitimate through the use of legal terms of art and interesting formatting. But it could also be missing key elements that makes the entire document worthless... Or even worse than worthless, it could hurt you if you try to use it.

    Go with a lawyer. Think of the extra money spent as peace of mind and customer service. Plus, if something goes wrong, the lawyer fixes it.

    Yeah like it says in the PM quote. I am happy and it looks good to me, but I am no expert I am only 20 years old, soon to be 21. Just trying to get stuff gathered up so when I turn 21 I can send it off. This is my first legal document that I have ever messed with. My dad knows a couple people in this matter and I will have them look it over for me.
    I will stop by my local gun shop and see what they recommend too.

    I didn't post on the thread again because I didn't feel like getting bashed over it...

    I don't know if you are trying to be a smart alec or if that is a legitimate question. But I will treat it as the later.

    People who made a bad decision with LegalZoom are rarely, if ever, going to post it on the internet. You can think of it like investing in the stock market. Tons of people come up with great stock picks and strategies, and they post about it. People do that all the time.

    But when they lose money, you rarely/never hear them talk about it and how much money they lost because of their bad decision. Yes, there are actually a ton of people who make bad stock picks and lose money in the stock market, even though they don't post about it.

    Look into this more and ask around. You will find plenty of people who made a mistake going with LegalZoom, just like you will find plenty of people who made bad stock picks and lost a lot money.

    Again, I have no dog in this fight. I am just sharing my opinion.
