Cole bryan
I would post this about 10 more times but ill just say this. I have alot of freinds that have his trusts, as do I, and alot that have a Sean Cody trust. The difference? Sean is $200 more ($450).... Both are top notch trusts, Cole will just save you money (his is $200-250). We have numerous approvals on our trust from suppressors to SBRs and waiting on 2 approvals on machine guns

What I have seen a lot are people trying to probate wills made with quicken. Unfortunately for them, the wills were completely screwed up and they were forced to deal with intestate succession, which pretty much destroyed what the actual testator's intent was. On top of that, the family was paying $250/hr to undo the mess, and it took a lot of hours.
When it comes to class III items, you are investing a good chunk of money, there is absolutely no reason not to cough up $350-400 for a real lawyer, in TEXAS, who understands the particularities of texas law, probate, and trust formation, to make sure your items don't become a legal nightmare for your intended beneficiaries or yourself.

Absolutely! Why anybody wants to be a cheap *** on this is beyond me.
And FWIW, the ATF-NFA approval branch is not in business to review trusts for legalities. Could you imagine the wait times if they reviewed each submission in a trust?!
Just because you have had items get approved does not mean your trust is legal and/or valid.
I used Sean Cody.
