Have any of you done this? Is it hard to do a paper form 4 on your own without ffl? If I have filed many form 1 e-files on my own, shouldn't this be a piece of cake?? It just seems there could be issues transferring a gun from myself, to myself. Especially when half of these items (the SBR's) I manufactured myself and will be listing myself as both the transferor, transferee, and manufacturer.
Little background story so you see where i am coming from —
I have quite a few Nfa items (5 or 6 cans and 6 sbr's). My fiancé is very comfortable with a few of these configurations and I'd prefer to leave her with something she can confidently use when I'm not around if the threat presents itself. Currently for legal reasons I'll state that I'm leaving her with a handgun and a full sized unsuppressed AR when I'm gone. She hates the full sized AR thinks it's too heavy. She is pretty damn good with a handgun from the training I've given her but is way more competent with a SBR.
LEGALLY I'm not supposed to be leaving her with access to my NFA items when I'm gone. I just got a NFA trust. I am going to be adding most (if not all) of these items to that trust.
Another thing I'd like to do is to be able to add my family members as trustees later also incase shtf and i need to store my stuff at their house.
I'm assuming it's a long bubblegum wait for paper form 4s. I still have two cans in jail one is at 11.5 months and one just hit 12 months last week.
Here's my plans -
Get all my items transferred to my trust. Wait the 1 year (+/-) till they're approved, and once all are approved, add her as a trustee. This allows her to possess my items without me, but saves the whole "responsible persons" portion of the application. Yes I know this means for future purchases I'll need to include her on all form 1/form 4's that I file in the name of the trust. That's fine. I want her on there full time. As far as if I add my parents and brother on there, I'll probably revoke them before filing, until the new item is approved, and then just add them back onto the trust.
I know this is going to be expensive, I know this means I need to file a separate form 4 for each item and pay 200 bucks for each item (ouch). I know it's probably not necessary for every item, but if I plan to do a few a might as well just do all. So I appreciate input but if it's about any of the above mentioned pointers then respectfully I don't want/need to hear it. I've already considered the money and headache portion of it. I mostly want to know if anyone has done this and has had any issues.
