Why Choose an NFA Gun Trust?
- Simplified Ownership: An NFA Gun Trust allows multiple trustees to legally possess and use NFA items. This arrangement lets you share your firearms with trusted family members or friends without legal complications.
- Enhanced Privacy: An NFA Trust keeps your firearm ownership and transfers private, avoiding the public exposure of probate court. If avoiding probate is a priority, consider our Texas Revocable Living Trust Plan to cover your non-NFA items.
- Immediate Authority to Administer: Your NFA items are not stuck in limbo waiting for someone to have authority to possess and transfer them. Unlike probate, which takes months, an NFA Gun Trust grants immediate authority to possess and transfer your firearms upon your death.
- Future Planning: An NFA Trust ensures your firearms are transferred according to your wishes, providing peace of mind for you and your heirs.
- Legal Protection: Owning NFA firearms involves stringent legal requirements. An NFA Gun Trust helps your trustees navigate these regulations, reducing the risk of legal issues.

When do you need an NFA Gun Trust?
In the United States, the ownership and regulation of suppressors, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), short-barreled shotguns (SBSs), machine guns, and destructive devices fall under federal law, primarily the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934 and the Gun Control Act of 1968. Strict regulations govern these items, classified as “NFA items,” including:
- Suppressors: Also known as silencers.
- Short-Barreled Rifles (SBRs): Rifles with a barrel length under 16 inches or an overall length under 26 inches require registration, a tax stamp, and adherence to federal laws similar to suppressors.
- Short-Barreled Shotguns (SBSs): Shotguns with a barrel length under 18 inches or an overall length under 26 inches follow similar regulations to SBRs and suppressors.
- Machine Guns: Fully automatic firearms capable of firing more than one round per trigger pull.
- Destructive Devices: This category includes explosive devices, large caliber weapons (over .50 caliber), and other destructive weapons, requiring registration, a tax stamp, and compliance with strict federal regulations.
