Why choose Colorado 2A Trust Law?

Many people simply try to search online for a pre-made trust to fill in some blanks and submit it to the ATF. This is an exceptionally risky decision. Cutting corners is simply not an option when small, innocuous mistakes can result in ten (10) years of jail time. These firearm trusts that are posted online or given out at local or national gun stores are tremendously dangerous and should be avoided at all costs. Typically, they are not even drafted by attorneys.
While nothing is technically going to keep you from using software products, you should realize that they are not designed to address the complex issues involved with creating a firearm trust. Substituting a generic trust form for a firearm trust can also be dangerous, as these forms do not typically address applicable federal and state laws. Generic forms tend to be very simple and tend to only address how an individual’s property will pass on death.
A firearm trust should have specific language on how the firearms will be managed during your life and also direct whom they will pass to after your death. Important consideration must be given as to who will qualify as a co-trustee and beneficiary and whether they will be permitted by law to use and possess firearms. Beware of the doctrine of merger, whereby the trustee or trustees and beneficiary or beneficiaries are the same person. In some states, this can cause the trust to constructively dissolve because of the fusion of legal and equitable ownership.
Furthermore, the trust must be structured to ensure that at no time the sole trustee is also the solebeneficiary. Otherwise, the doctrine of merger would invalidate the trust, leaving that person in theunlawful possession of unregistered firearms.
Unlike a generic trust, a firearm trust should also include provisions that address what happens to the trust property if a settlor, trustee, or beneficiary becomes a Prohibited Person who is unable to use or possess any type of firearm. Typically, the firearm trust will automatically disqualify them from any rights they had from the trust agreement, thus protecting all the other trustees from an illegal transfer of possession.
