Florida NFA Trust Lawyer

Florida Gun Trusts, also known as NFA Trusts, Class 3 Trusts, or Firearms Revocable Trusts, are an excellent way to legally purchase and own regular and  Title II Firearm.

A FFL with a Class 3 SOT sells Title II firearms that include machine guns, silencers (suppressors), short-barreled shotguns  (SBS) or rifles (SBS), destructive device (DD), or an "any other weapon" (AOW).

A Florida Gun Trust does not give you a Class 3 license or SOT. Also a Gun Trust will not let you purchase firearms that are not permitted in your state including post 86 Machine Guns. That’s right A gun trust will let you purchase pre 86 transferable machine guns but not new ones manufactured after 1986

A Florida Gun Trust can help you overcome situations where the Chief Law Enforcement Officer in your area is reluctant or unwilling to sign an ATF Form 4 or Form 1. There are many other benefits to using a Gun Trust to purchase your firearms including protecting your family and friends from issues of constructive possession or other violations of Federal law. A Gun Trust can allow other people to be authorized users of your Title II firearms without violation of the National Firearms Act.

A Gun Trust is a very special type of trust that has been created to deal with the unique issues of firearms purchases, ownership, transfer, possession, and use of firearms.

Attorney David Goldman is licensed in Florida and is widely recognized as the Gun Trust Lawyer®.  Mr. Goldman works with over 200 lawyers across the US to help provide clients with version of his copyrighted Gun Trust. There are many types of Florida Gun Trusts and not all Florida Gun Trusts are the same.  Some can provide asset protection and multi generational ownership while others are really only designed for NFA firearms.

Our Gun Trust is different than a typical Revocable Trust.  Many so called "Gun Trusts" are nothing more than revocable trusts with a few NFA words or definitions thrown in and still instruct people to break the law.  People often ask about having other items in their NFA trust; we recommend that only firearms, magazines, and accessories  be placed in a Gun Trust.  The reason for this is simple, the people you want to use and have access to your firearms are not the same as those who you want to be able to sign checks or sell your property.     If your trust talks about land  or other non-firearms related assets, its a clue that you do not have a Gun Trust. Most other trusts do not deal with the many unique issues of regular firearms or Title II firearms ownership, possession, transfer, and use.
