Where are you located? Maybe someone in your area can help.
Delaware
This guy has associations all across US. He has pretty much made NFA Trusts his niche service.
Never used him but I think I would if intended to go the Lawyer route.

I used Gun Trust Lawyer. Not cheap but did a great job. The trust is for firearms but totally customized to my requirements.
I'd check around if you have any hometown style forms for Delaware gun owners(some of the other gun forms have hometown sections that would be good as well) and ask them for advise on local lawyers. I found one in Va not that far from me that was doing firearms trusts for a good deal cheaper then the gun trust lawyer people. The trust does have some specific working for nfa items but pretty much it is just a standard trust that was written to make sure that it was complaint with my states law(Va). He came well recommended by other nfa owners and owns nfa firearms himself. Very good chance you can find someone similar at least semi near you.
Edit: I sent you the info tb-av.

ccosby could you PM your guy's name. I'm in VA too and wouldn't mind having some names for future reference.
Thanks all. I have seen ads for Gun Trust Lawyer, every search on Google they come up. There is no way I would pay them $600 for this kind of work. I am sure the ones who have are satisfied, but for what I read there is really nothing special to warrant this fee.
I used a lawyer for my trust, it looks very professional, I know its done correctly for my state and it gives me peace of mind "quicken" never could. I am the biggest fan of lawyers making trusts but $600 is asinine.
Why do the loudest do the least?
In all honesty, all you really need is a valid (for your state) revocable living trust. I've had people come into my office with Quicken/Willmaker trusts that were ATF approved. While they were convoluted and messy, they got the job done.
I think my product is superior and takes out the headaches associated with a Quicken type of trust. I can also customize the trust to the needs of each client along with providing some support should a problem arise later on.
I haven't personally viewed Mr. Goldman's trust ("guntrustlawyer"), but from what I understand it is quite comprehensive (35+ pages in length). My product usually runs about 12 pages and the cat still gets skinned. You have to remember that Mr. Goldman isn't licensed in every state so he has to utilize local counsel. This means splitting the fee, so he has to charge more. Mine are more reasonably priced since I don't have to share.
I've even drafted some NFA trusts for out-of-state residents who agree to get it reviewed/revised by a local attorney. That's still probably cheaper than the $600 version.
