Whoever does your trust, read it very carefully and make sure you understand everything it does and assure that it does what you want it to do. Any kind of trust should take care of three conditions: You're alive and healthy, you're alive but not healthy and unable to make decisions yourself and you're dead.
Make sure all three conditions are covered and the trust operates the way you want it to in all three states.
I'm a big beleiver in "less is more" and I kept mine very simple -- all my trustees are peers and have control over the trust, and the only people I put on the trust I, well, trust to do the right thing. Of course being older I have the advantage of long-time friends (30+ years) that I trust implicitly. It would be more difficult if I were younger and my friends were more transient.

Rose did mine. Really easy to deal with...

Not to threadjack, but does anyone know if these mentioned lawyers would work for creating a trust in Wyoming? Should I try to find someone in-state to do it?
Alright thanks for the info. I don't know too much about lawyers and trusts. I've read enough to realize I probably don't want to cheap out and go the Quicken route. My local Sheriff has no problem signing ATF forms, I have a suppressor on it's way, but it would be nice to have a trust. I plan on doing 2 SBR builds very soon and I'm sure I'll get more cans down the road.
There are a few advantages to a trust even when the Sheriff will sign off on NFA, but its up to you.
I definitely don't think Quicken trusts are a good idea, least of all for NFA.
People who try to save $500 on a trust when they have already decided to play in the expensive NFA arena baffle me. If you are sensitive to costs, don't play with toys that cost a $200 transfer tax each to begin with.

Probably a question for the lawyers, but does anyone know if a trust works with trustees in multiple states? Ie. If trust is formed in CO, can I also add someone from KS, or MO?
