I got one through Silencer Shop. Still haven’t had a chance to get the trustee part completed but it will be my wife and my lifelong best friend. My friend is also a big gun enthusiast and a former trained US Army armorer. He understand weapons and also NFA rules etc.
The reason I had for getting a trust is that, if something should happen to me, I don’t want to burden my wife (who is clueless about firearms and especially NFA items) with dealing with my stuff. I’ve instructed my wife that if I am no longer, my friend should take possession of my NFA items (and all my guns if she wants). I’ve told him he can do with them what he pleases or keep them for my boys when they come of age. I’m more inclined to leave the non NFA gun to my kids at my wife’s discretion.
I don’t plan on a massive collection of NFA items but probably a few SBR lowers and a few suppressors.
I’d rather him have possession than my wife as she would be inclined to sell them and, knowing her, would sell to the first offerer and any price. Not that I plan on owning and full auto items, but a local gun shop reportedly offered and 80 year old women $1000 for her dead husbands M16 and she was excited to take it...that would be my wife. Unfortunately those types of people are out there.
Also, if something bizarre happens, like a suppressor being left in a car that my wife later drives, she will be protected.
Not sure if my line of thinking makes sense but that is my reason.
