Assignment of property for Revocable trust question

[HRnightmare]

I am curious how you guys do this. Below is the wording of my assignment of property when I get something approved to go into my trust.



Assignment of Property


I, MY NAME, as grantor of the TRUST NAME Revocable Living Trust dated(DATE #1) hereby assign and transfer all of my rights, title and interest in the following property:

1. ITEM AND SERIAL NUMBER


to MY NAME, as trustee of the MY TRUST NAME dated (DATE #2)



Executed at , , on (DATE #3)
.

MY NAME, Grantor and Trustee



Here is my question. I have been putting the date my trust was created and notarized on DATE 1 and DATE 2 and the date the item was approved on my stmap as DATE #3.

Is that how I should be doing it?

With that being said.. When I do a new schedule A I add the new item to the list and date it the date I took possession or the date I assembled it (for SBR's) which is typically a few days after the approved date on the Stamp.

My concern is it appears as if I am just now adding items that should have been in the possession of my trust for a long time

The schedule A says:
SBR #1
Suppressor #1
SBR #2
Dated - 23 October 2014

except SBR #1 was approved 3 yrs ago.

So what I have been doing is keeping EVERY schedule A so that if need be I can show the date it was originally assigned to the trust.

Am I going overboard with documentation?

I keep a binder with sheet protectors with ALL my stamps (copies of them), the full trust, and assignments, schedules and amendments that goes with me anytime I go to the range or travel with them.

Call the Lawyer that made the Trust for you. That way if it's wrong you can have him defend you.

I didn't have a lawyer do it, I did a "plug and play" with NOLO.com

I did that because I called about 12 lawyers in my area. One wanted $1k, the others wouldn't return calls or didn't want to get involved in "firearm laws"

also the suppressor dealer advised me he uses the NOLO trusts.


I'm going to go get an ice pack because I am sure I am about to get 1000 verbal KO punches.

I did NOLO plus some NFA-specific language after doing a lot of research and it is the perfect solution for me. When I remarry I will get a professional restatement.

I was told the date #3 for the 'executed on' portion should be the date you are physically filling out the Assignment of Property. So if your SBR gets approved on 10/15/14 but you don't create it and fill out the assignment of property until 10/24/14 then you should date the 'executed on' part as 10/24/14. That's how I understand it, someone correct me if they think otherwise.

That's what I do, plus I avoid dating on Sunday (something my dad taught me although I think the risk of a document being challenged for being signed on Sunday is pretty remote).

Seeing as ATF has been approving forms on Sunday...

I can't even imagine the legal basis for such a challenge.

You sign it when you sign it. If you need to write down the date you sign it, write down whatever the date was.

I'm pretty sure it is obsolete. A quick Google search shows this mention in a 1963 ABA journal that wills exected on Sunday are (were) invalid in Morrison County, MN. I know my dad did a lot of tax law work Internationally and in Louisiana in the '60s and '70s and I remember him talking about how strange the Napoleonic Code influences on LA were.

Makes sense there were restrictions at one point.
In my state you can't hunt on Sundays and in a few towns you can't buy beer on Sundays.

Good thing "blue laws" are a thing of the past, at least in most places.

The Napoleonic Code is definitely strange. You couldn't pay me enough to practice law in Louisiana.
