NFA trust address change

[jackthewall81]

If I now to another state, say for example South Carolina. What do I need to do, if anything with my trust, and the address on it? What else do I need to worry about?

In for info.

Not change OP's out of state move question, but also wondering about in state move. (Thinking about setting up a trust but will be moving in state in the next few months.)

If it were me I would contact my attorney that drew up my trust. They told me any changes i made were easy. Hence, me having an attorney do it!

IIRC the trust stays the same. You apply for a change of address with the atf

Generally moving from one state to another will not require any changes to the trust with the exception of the state of Maine (only if you want to make additional Title II purchases). A validly created Trust in one state, is valid in another state if you move. Depending on the language in the trust, the rules that it references may change or not. Generally our trusts will still reference the original state's laws once you move. This can be changed if you desire but is typically not necessary.

What he said. Nothing changes with the trust itself, but you DO need to alert ATF to the change of address. Always a good idea to double check with your attorney though, and make sure that your NFA items will be legal to wherever you're moving to. Don't take "yes" the first time around, make sure to make several calls, document whom you talked to and when, and if they'll cough it up, try for employee numbers as well. Just in CASE you get screwed, you can use that to show that you did your due diligence.
