Just want to verify this will work

Moved for better chance of response

What was the question?

About to send in my lower for my SBR:

Let's say my name is John Peter Doe, i named my trust:

JP Doe Trust

That's it.

Then on the first page is "Declaration of Revocable Living Trust"

This doesn't raise a flag with anyone does it?

Thank you

Someone who knows better can chime in, but I've always been told quite clearly by several people at several different gun stores, etcetera, to spell out everything and don't use initials, i.e. on 4473s.

I called my trust "John Bob Doe Revocable Living Trust" which is what Willmaker automatically made it.

It all depends on how your trust is named in the trust document.

if it's named JP Doe Trust, that's what you use for engraving/form 1
if it's named John P Doe Trust, that's what you use for engraving/form 1
if it's named John P Doe Revocable Living Trust, that's what you use for engraving/form 1

I'm not really sure I get your question...

99.9% of all trusts being used are revocable living trusts...

Just wanted to make sure that I'm OK with my trust being named "JP Doe Trust" and that no one has ever heard thar 'Revocable living' must be in the name.

Essentially the name can be whatever I want.

Thanks

yes.

revocable and living are properties of the trust defined in the trust document. there is no need to add them to your trust name.

IIRC, Quicken Willmaker started this fad by adding it to all trusts by default. it only became an issue when some "important" ATF employee decided to raise the issue that RLT is not an officially recognized abbreviation. Now people who had trusts named "Revocable Living" couldn't abbreviate it to the 3 letters and had to spell it all out.

our trust is "lastname trust"

Cool, thank you!
