With a properly drafted trust, the effects of ATF 41F, referenced below, are extremely minimal. The creator of the trust would, at most, need to submit prints and photos once every 2 years when making a new NFA purchase.
As of July 13, 2016, ATF 41F requires all “responsible persons” to submit fingerprints and a 2x2 photo with the new version of Form 4 or Form 1. Responsible persons must submit the “Responsible Person Questionnaire”.

Roy,
I just wanted to let you know that I received the trust yesterday and everything looks great. Thank you for getting this to me so quickly, and I also appreciate that it is set up in such a professional and easy to use package, complete with instructions. After careful consideration I chose to pay you for your services as opposed to using one of the cheap online template services, as it is very important to me that this was complete, correct and legal. I am by no means a legal expert, but from what I have seen by looking through this, it appears to be substantially more complete than other examples that I have seen, and your attention to detail is impeccable. I am sure that most of the online services are complete enough to obtain a stamp but I was not willing to risk my freedom or the freedom of my family just to save a couple of hundred dollars on a document that may not hold up if ever questioned. Your name was mentioned by several people in multiple online forums for this service and I am glad to have found you. I will absolutely recommend you and will also leave some of your business cards with my local firearms dealer when I go to purchase my first can this weekend.
Thanks,
Brian D.
Roy Baker (Attorney GA BAR #033889) has been preparing both revocable and irrevocable trusts for clients since 1999, and during this time developed a detailed expertise on the proper functioning of trusts. Roy Baker supports the God-given right of the people to bear arms, and recognizes that Article II (the Second Amendment) of the Constitution is an acknowledgment of this God-given right by the founding fathers. Roy Baker has studied Titles 26 and 27 of the US Code as well as the corresponding titles in the Code of Federal Regulations and understands how to hold Title II (or Class III firearms) in trust.
A trust can be created to protect your family members from inadvertent possession of an item regulated by the NFA that is not registered to them.
The NFA Trust is a trust that is tailored to ensure compliance with the National Firearms Act which regulates weapons that are known as Title II (or class III) firearms and O.C.G.A. 16-11-120, The Georgia firearms and weapons act. Title II (or Class III) weapons are machine guns, short barreled rifles, short barreled shotguns, destructive devices and weapons classified as AOWs (Any Other Weapons).
The weapons regulated by the National Firearms Act are:
Machine Guns - this includes any firearm which can fire more than 1 cartridge per trigger pull. Both continuous fully-automatic fire and "burst fire" (i.e., firearms with a 3-round burst feature) are considered machine gun features.
Short Barreled Rifles (SBRs) - this category includes any firearm with a buttstock and either a rifled barrel under 16" long or an overall length under 26". The overall length is measured with any folding or collapsing stocks in the extended position. The category also includes firearms which came from the factory with a buttstock that was later removed by a third party.
Short Barreled Shotguns (SBSs) - this category is defined similarly to SBRs, but the length limit for the barrel is 18" instead of 16", and the barrel must be a Smooth bore. The minimum overall length limit remains 26".
Suppressors (aka Silencers) - this includes any portable device designed to muffle or disguise the report of a firearm.
Destructive Devices (DD)- there are two broad classes of destructive devices:
Devices such as Grenades, bombs, explosive Missiles, Poison Gas weapons, and similar items and any non-sporting firearm with a bore over 0.50", such as a 40mm Grenade Launcher often used in conjunction with rifles. (Many firearms with bores over 0.50", such as 12-gauge shotguns, are exempted from the law because they have been determined to have a legitimate sporting use.)
Any Other Weapons (AOWs) - this is a broad "catch-all" category used to regulate any number of firearms which the ATF deems deserving of registration and taxation. Examples include, among others:
Smooth-bore pistols
Pen guns and Cane guns
Short-barreled firearms with both rifled and smooth bores, etc.
Disguised firearms
Firearms that can be fired from within a wallet holster or a briefcase
A short-barreled shotgun which came from the factory with a pistol grip is categorized as an AOW rather than a SBS, because the Gun Control Act describes a shotgun as “…designed or redesigned to be fired from the shoulder…”
Handguns with a forward vertical grip. It is therefore illegal to place an after-market fore grip on any pistol without first registering it as an AOW and paying the $200.00 "making tax" imposed by the Act.
