    Schedule A is ridiculously simple. It's simply a numbered list off your NFA trinkets... For example, the first thing on my Sch A is:

    1. Advanced Armament Corp. Silencer Model M4-1000 Serial number M1234.

    And you just add stuff on from there. When you get to AZ you can check out my full trust if you want.

    I would like to thank everyone who has responded. I talked with a firearms friendly attorney, and I am going to see if he can work with me.

    On another note, is it a violation if you let another person handle or fire your NFA firearm even though you are with them? I saw on the guntrustlawyer link that this was a violation. Can anyone expand on this?

    Thanks.

    NO -

    It's a registered MG/SBR/SBS and the owner/grantor/etc...is present whilst you "play" with the weapon.

    demi,

    I appreciate it. I am looking forward to R/R next month. My wife just completed the move yesterday and is now in the organizing phase. My time has been cut a little short, but oh well. I think I may go ahead and get that Willmaker program now and see what happens. Thanks

    The 1iviper,

    Did you travel to Roanoke to draft the trust, or did you handle it over the phone/computer? What was the turn around time for Mr. Eakin to draft the trust? If i decide to utilize his services, how much should I be expecting him to charge? Finally, are you satisfied with your experience with him?

    Thanks for providing the info and links.

    shrek25--no need to travel to roanoke, did everything by phone and e-mail.i paid $300 for him to draft the trust.i corresponded back and forth for about a week, his assistant will e-mail a word or excel doc with the draft of the trust for you to go over and make any changes/corrections to.then once paid she will mail the trust to you and you just need to get it notorized,my bank did mine at no charge.very good people to work with actually,you will correspond mostly with his assistant unless you want to ask him any questions personally.i spoke with him a couple of times about the draft.

    honestly it was just for the peace of mind that i went with an attorney to draft the trust since it is a legal binding document and i knew nothing about living trusts. but if i had it to do all over again i would probobly use www.livingtrustsontheweb.com or quicken willmaker.livingtrustsontheweb is like legalzoom but just does trusts.they also only charge like $199 for a "couple" trust and $149 for an individual trust.i had mine set up with my wife as a trustee and my brother as an successor trustee should something happen to me or to me and my wife there is a way for your heirs to legally own your nfa without going through a bunch of hassle.

    i have not used the trust yet to purchase any nfa items though.filling out form1's for 2 lowers to sbr at the moment,hopefully will be in the mail next week,and am currently looking for an ffl/sot dealer to do a form 4 transfer for me on a pre registered sbr lower.hopefully i filled the paperwork out correctly and have no probs on the form 1's.

    i do have a packet of info about him and trusts that i picked up i could mail you if interested.if you have any q's that i can help out with just let me know.although there seems to be alot more knowledgeable folks here,it's one of the places i come to look for answers to my q's.

    1iviper - I contacted the attorney you recommended. The trust is in the process of being drafted.

    Thanks for pointing me in his direction.

    I can help out any members in VA who want an attorney to create a trust specifically for NFA items and to address issues specific to NFA items and their individual situations for a reasonable fee.

    I understand the cost issue and why people use generic software products, but there are many pitfalls caused by the interface of trusts and NFA laws and regs and you really need to think ahead. I probably spent at least 8-10 hours with the Virginia Uniform Trust Code and various NFA materials working out the details of my own NFA trust, and it really does pay to think 2 steps ahead in terms of disposition and smoothly complying with the NFA if you get hit by a bus.
