Good morning.
I'm a GA boy currently live in SC. My whole family is still in GA. I just setup a Firearms Trust in SC, and my Dad wants to set one up in GA. I used the most (or one of the most) reputable attorneys for Firearms Trusts in SC, and it cost $150. Need the name of a reputable Firearms Trust attorney in GA. Any input is appreciated. |

I am assuming you already asked the SC lawyer if he is licensed in GA or has a referral.
Where does your father live? I've sent my clients to David Goldman in Jacksonville but his fee is more than $150. I have no idea who these folks are but them seem to have a presence in GA now- http://arsenalattorneys.com/ Good luck |

He did not do my original trust, but he just did an amendment revision for me. His trusts are 30+ pages, very comprehensive, and I believe he only does NFA trusts. He is a little more than what you paid in SC, but his rates are very competitive in GA. http://www.georgianfatrust.com/payment-options.html |

And to Fragalistic - my Uncle used to work for King and Spaulding. They are one of the biggest and most prestigious firms in GA. Although I'm sure they could do an NFA trust, I highly doubt it's going to be anywhere near reasonable financially... |

There are any number of lawyers competent to do a trust, whether for NFA purposes or not. My youngest son could do it, but I doubt you'd think his rates to be "reasonble" either.  I guarantee you this: a trust doesn't need to be 30 pages long, in order to be valid.

My trust is 7 pages long, and it was done by attorney. No a trust does not have to be 30 pages long to be valid, but if you want maximum protection, and the price is competitive, then I would take the 30 page trust all day long. Any trust done by an attorney, who knows what they are doing, should be valid so protecting yourself should be the main concern...especially with the government we have now. For example when I had my original trust done, I did not have children so I had a beneficary listed, but I was not too concerned about it. Now I have a son, and when I die, I want to ensure my NFA items go to him with no questions asked. If he is not of the legal age to assume ownership when I die, then I want to ensure the property is protected until he can assume ownership. It takes a lot more to ensure this will happen with 0 issues, than the one paragraph dedicated to my beneficiary on my original trust. The main item you should make sure is written in the trust, and this should be the case anyway with any RLT, is to make sure that the Grantor has unlimited rights to make any changes to the trust at any time. |
