This book organizes, explains and analyzes the many laws and best practices in order to ensure that the reader can properly establish and maintain gun trusts and other entities and arrangements to comply with current federal law, and has been written to be understood by both experienced lawyers and gun owners who may not be familiar with legal terminology and arrangements. It can be used as a guide for lawyers who are fluent in trusts, but not gun law, and to provide basic and practical information and guidance for lawyers who are fluent in gun law but do not have special expertise in trust and estate law, with specific information that a trustee or any advisor to a trustee of a gun trust would need to know.
