NFA trust question-multiple items per trust?

[Grendelshooter]

I recently picked up my first NFA item, a Velos 5.56.
When I purchased it I didn’t really know what I was doing with the trust, so it’s named something generic that the shop used by default-basically my suppressor type and serial number, so “trust name: Velos 5.56-123456”

I’m looking at putting in for an SBR or 2 now, and I have another suppressor coming.
Question is when I file on each of these, and opt for trusts, do they each have their own trust, or should I consolidate them all under the original trust I purchased my first can with?

I'd put them all in the same trust... Not sure what your future plans are, but transferring NFA items among trusts is a $200 stamp each time. You can also broaden out the trust to include other assets you want to pass along without worrying about probate.

Yep. Just add them to the last page list of properties.

Yeah, put them all in one trust. The name of the trust is immaterial.

Not entirely immaterial, especially if OP chooses to do a form 1 in the future.

Yep, also check your state laws on trusts; requirements vary state to state.

lol! Yeah, I suppose he wouldn't want to engrave all that on his receiver. Good point.

Grendelshooter, Why are you using a trust?
