I know I need to seek professional legal counsel, however, I have a few basic questions on this:
I am going to set up a trust (either through JAG, or willmaker) and put myself and my wife as trustees.
I plan on SBRing a lower or two, and getting a can or two...cant afford the full auto yet.
My questions are this:
I am currently in Afghanistan, and want to buy a couple of rifles. These rifles will have to go to a FFL. Can the rifles (SBRd or not) be transfered to the trust? I say this because my wife will have to pick them up, but I dont want there to be a "straw purchase" issue or any other BS that comes up...im thinking I can send the wife in to pick them up, and have them transferred to the trust, of which she is a trustee...should be no problem, right?
Or would it be easier to just have the items sent for her, as opposed to me, since I am currently overseas?
TO me it makes no difference in this case, however, I want to be 110% legal in these dealings.
Is it very wise to place anything other than NFA items in the trust, such as normal guns, or say vehicles?
Also, does the trust circumvent the need for a background check? ( I assume that is required for the traditional way of buying a class 3 item?) I dont see how, but then again, if anyone can be a trustee, whats the point? This is more of a "HMMM..." question than anything else...
Thanks for your time and insight.
