Miscellaneous NFA Trust Questions
I received the paperwork for my NFA trust yesterday, and am having difficulty getting a few details tacked down. I keep getting contradictory info from Googling, so I'm hoping some of the more experienced folks could point me in right direction.
First, rules introduced in July 2016 require each trustee to submit fingerprints and passport photos to the ATF. My understanding is that the ATF wants that submitted on their specific forms. Are we supposed to buy these forms and take our own fingerprints? Do we have to submit the Form 5320.23 for each trustee every time something is purchased with the trust?
The rules stipulate that we have to notify the CLEO that an application has been submitted. Since all the trustees are in Texas, I'm told the head of DPS would technically be a CLEO to everyone. So we have to send a notification with each purchase? What needs to be included in that notification?
Once the paperwork for the trust is signed and notarized, I just need to make a few backup copies and store the original somewhere safe?
