Florida Gun Trust Attorney
Owning and passing down firearms-especially NFA-regulated items-requires careful legal planning in Florida. A gun trust helps you comply with state and federal law, simplifies transfer after death or incapacity, and reduces risk for your heirs. At De Paz Law, we draft Florida-specific gun trusts for responsible owners throughout Tampa Bay.
What Is a Gun Trust?
A gun trust is a legal entity created to:

- Lawfully own, possess, and transfer firearms, including NFA items (suppressors, SBRs, etc.)
- Name multiple authorized users (trustees)
- Avoid probate complications or accidental felony transfers
- Clarify who can inherit or use your firearms
Who Should Consider a Gun Trust?
Firearm collectors, sport shooters, or anyone owning NFA-regulated firearms
Families who want clear legal guidance for inheritance or gifting
Those wishing to name responsible users and successors
Owners seeking privacy and efficient transfer as part of a larger estate plan
Gun Trusts vs. Regular Trusts
While some trusts can hold personal property, gun trusts are specially drafted for firearms and NFA compliance. Regular living trusts are not designed to address ATF regulations or multiple authorized users.
