The bowers suppressor, I wouldnt even waste my time.He bought them using form 4 tax stamps. In his will he gave them to his wife as part of their living family trust.
The ATF said his irrevocable will was too vague, they wanted his will to have been written like this; (wife is to inherit upon my death: (1) Thomson machine gun with serial # XYZ 123, (2) SWD-11/nine serial # abc321, (3) Bowers suppressor serial # yzx 567.)
She waited over five years before trying to apply to the ATF using form 5's and placing them into a gun trust.
The ATF then came up with a solution, have the four people who will inherit her assets after she passes, sign a waiver giving up all rights to the three items.
That allowed her to deal with them and that is how they were then placed in a gun trust.
There was other complications with his irrevocable will, which involved his two biological daughters which he had written out of his will.
They were not named in his will, and that opens a whole new can of worms, as his will can be contested by the daughters using an error of omissions clause.
Even they had to sign the waiver to make the ATF happy.
