Gun Trust Question

[Robinson]

I used silencershop.com trust. It was pretty easy to use. I just have me on it and my wife is the beneficiary if something happens to me. I have thought about making her one of the trustee's also but not quite sure how to do that honestly. I currently have two cans in jail. And I am trying to decide on which 22lr can to purchase.

I have a page in my trust that specifically names my wife as co-trustee. This page must be notarized with the settler's signature. Then there is yet another page for the co-trustee to sign with witnesses, but that page does not have to be notarized and is not required for the trust to be legally binding.

I went this route to avoid problems with the suppressor being in my wife's possession when I'm not around or in case she wants to use it at some point.

Thank you for the help. I will look at the trust paperwork when I get back home from work.

The local toy shop made a good point that I hadn't considered. The trust is very useful in situations where if I were to have an accident with the suppressor on my person (in the car after a wreck, etc) and am incapacitated, my wife could collect the suppressor and transport it home. I hadn't thought about that scenario, only how to deal with it after my death.
