Specializing in firearms-related business adds a new niche to your estate planning firm. For that purpose, your practice needs Gun Docx® software.
Gun Transfer
Transferring a gun to a beneficiary isn’t the same as leaving them a motor vehicle or stocks. Federal and state regulations regarding firearms are complicated, and you want to ensure your clients are protected.
Clients may own weapons subject to the National Firearms Act. NFA weapons include short barreled rifles and shotguns, silencers and suppressors, destructive devices and pre-1986 machine guns. The latter are the firearms most likely transferred in an NFA trust. Establishing an NFA trust is the best way to provide for the transfer of such weapons upon your client’s death. Clients depend on you to make sure there are no NFA violations in a trust, and that means you must trust your software. Put your trust in Gun Docx®.

Firearms laws change constantly, but with Gun Docx,® you’re assured that your software is always current. The software allows you to easily update both conventional and NFA trusts.
