Yeah the first few lawyers I tried cold calling either didn't know what I was talking about or they DID and wanted in the neighborhood of $2k. The research I did lead me to believe it should be doable for under $1k. As I understood it after talking to Mr. Sabbeth, Mr. Goldman (runs guntrustlawyer) sent Mr. Sabbeth the trust that he uses in Florida. Mr. Sabbeth adjusted it to meet Colorado requirements and I was good to go. This trust is written specifically for NFA items and not for things like houses or cars. I guess there are some issues with legalese for NFA trust because a trust is supposed to protect assets and someone could make an argument that the mere use of NFA items lowers their value.
I don't know what arrangement they worked out between them but I got what I was after in a short amount of time (took about a week if I remember correctly) for a price I was willing to pay.
I found Mr. Goldman to be very friendly and willing to answer general NFA questions. Mr. Sabbeth was less knowledgeable on NFA issues but well versed in Trusts. After speaking to them both I was very clear on how to go about what I wanted to do.
