Why Consider a Gun Trust?
The Power of a Firearm Trust
Transferring, owning, or inheriting firearms requires careful planning in California, especially for NFA items and multi-generational collections.
Without the right trust:
Your loved ones may face criminal liability, fines, or confiscation if they receive firearms improperly
Heirs could be forced to navigate complex paperwork, background checks, and storage requirements
Valuable firearms may get lost, separated, or sold off unexpectedly
Probate and court delays can put your collection at risk
With a gun trust, your wishes direct every step, giving your beneficiaries clear rules and legal protection.
What Is a Gun Trust?
Customized Protection for Your Firearms
A gun trust is a specialized legal entity for owning and transferring firearms, especially those regulated by the National Firearms Act (NFA).
Unlike a simple will or living trust, a gun trust:
Allows multiple trustees to use, possess, and inherit firearms lawfully
Keeps firearms safe from probate delays, court intervention, and legal pitfalls
Ensures ongoing compliance with California and federal regulations, even as laws change
Lets you manage, buy, and sell guns for enjoyment, investment, or collection—without added risk
