Protect Your Firearms with a New York Gun Trust

Owning firearms in New York comes with complex legal responsibilities. A gun trust is a legal tool designed to help individuals and businesses manage the ownership, transfer, and inheritance of firearms in compliance with federal and state laws. By establishing a gun trust, you can ensure that your firearms are handled according to your wishes while adhering to legal requirements.

Benefits of a Gun Trust

  • Legal Compliance: A gun trust ensures that the possession and transfer of your firearms comply with the National Firearms Act (NFA) and New York State laws.
  • Streamlined Inheritance: It facilitates the legal transfer of firearms to your beneficiaries, minimizing the risk of legal issues during the inheritance process.
  • Shared Access: Multiple trustees can be designated, allowing them legal access to the firearms within the trust.
  • Privacy Protection: Assets placed in a trust typically avoid probate, keeping details of your firearm collection private.

Understanding New York’s Firearm Laws

New York has stringent firearm regulations that can affect how firearms are owned and transferred. For instance, the state prohibits the private ownership of most NFA firearms, such as silencers, short-barreled rifles, and fully automatic weapons. However, a gun trust can still be beneficial for managing and transferring non-NFA firearms legally owned under New York law.

“Mr. Ronald S. Cook is the best lawyer that I have worked with. He is absolutely fantastic. The quality of the service is second to none. He is just at a different level. I am extremely satisfied from his services. Mr. Cook under-promises and over-delivers. I strongly recommend his advice and services.”

“Attorney Cook helped me update my Estate Plan when I relocated back to Long Island from Los Angeles. His assistance was critical since the laws in New York State are significantly different than those in California. He took the amount of time necessary for me to understand most of the intricacies of NY estate planning law, and as a retired engineer, I look to understand pretty much everything there is to know before I put my signature on paper. My customized plan was done well and in a very timely manner. I plan to use his services for any and all future needs where he is experienced. I would recommend anyone to speak to him about your estate planning needs.”

“Ronald Cook helped us with our Estate Planning needs. We had spoken to a few attorneys concerning our Estate needs over the years, but Mr. Cook will be the last. My wife and I were impressed by his willingness to take the time to explain in layman terms all our options. He customized our legal documents to reflect our specific needs and desires. His is not a cookie cutter approach and we highly recommend him.”
