I reasearched the "do it yourself trusts" and decided to have an attorney create mine. The price was not that much more. I decided to use an attorney for one reason: If something is not correct with the trust, then I have legal recourse to get it corrected. If you do it yourself and it doesn't pass muster with ATFE then you are hosed. The additional cost is a small price to pay for that piece of mind. Just my $0.02.

The purpose of a gun trust is that the “trust” itself is the registered owner for NFA items such as suppressors, sbr’s or automatics…anything NFA related. Anyone listed in it as trustee may legally possess the NFA items.
For instance I have my wife and kids on my trust… if my son wants to take off to the deer lease with my suppresser without me; he can because he is listed in my trust…
If my neighbor wants to borrow it one weekend to use it he can’t…he is not on the trust.
Going the trust route allows you to go around requirements such as fingerprints, photos, and cleo signatures that the ATF requires for these NFA items.
The biggest advantage is the trust allows possession with multiple users only if they are listed in the trust…
Here is my take…
Sure you can download a trust from the internet or copy word for word your buddies approved trust; fill in the blanks submit it and have it approved.
However you are talking about some scary stuff that goes beyond my pay scale.
I would only trust a lawyer doing this for me to have my butt covered. Especially a lawyer that deals with Gun Trusts… $300~250 dollars is a drop in the bucket compared to jail time.
