Trust Notarization

[THE BIG SITT]

Just to verify, once my trust document has been drafted, all that is left for me to do is have it notarized, correct? I don't have to file it with a court or anything right? Checked the FAQ and didn't see this in there.

You dont have to file anything with a court. I had mine notarized and filled out Schedule A then sent in my trust paperwork to the ATF the next day. I received my stamp a couple months later.

Had mine notarized, filled out the schedule A, sent in my paperwork the same day. Waiting on my stamp now.lol

Yes just have it notarized and send it off. Just sent one out in the mail again today...... My wife will divorce me one day

Make a bunch of copies and keep the original ones in a safe place. Same thing with the stamp have a copy with you when out shooting not the original ones.

Yep, my plan is to keep a copy of the trust AND the stamp inside the rifle and inside the pouch of the suppressor when they come back.

Indiana doesn't require a notary. Not that it's a bad idea but...

Will a photocopy of the original document suffice to keep in the range bag or do you need to have an actual notarized copy with you?

I don't keep any bit of the trust itself with me ever. It’s nobody's business.

As said above, trusts in Indiana do not require a notary.

Being new to the trust thingy what does the Schedule A do for you and exactly what stamp are you referring to ?

The stamp is what you get when you get approval for a class 3 item

A schedule A is a list of everything in the trust which cannot include NFA items until they are approved
