Did you ever get your trust made?A friend of mine had a trust written up, and has it in electronic form. What would prevent me from taking a copy of his trust, changing the pertinent bits (trustee, co-trustee, and beneficiary), having it notarized, and using it for myself? Possible moral issues aside, what legal issues could arise from doing such a thing?
Honestly, it looks like the lawyer who wrote it up just used a template, and put his name(s)/county in the proper places.
Don't be scared of willmaker and other places. Lawyers will tell you anything so they can make money. Just FYI.
Many places on the internet for you to compare your living trust to other people. Texas is a good state for trust.
If you have common sense, do what you want. Many people have made their own Trust and nothing happens.
Don't get caught up in the hype. Just saying.
I am guilty of using bad grammar and spelling.
Guess I missed that in your post. You seemd like one of those people who hate laywers.No hate here buddy.
I am not creating fear in people.
I am just letting people who google to know that a living trust is simple. Its a document. With some research, anyone can make one.
Your statement "And people who hate lawyers will tell you anything . . . . . . . Just ask Wesley Snipes (who reported to Jail last week). " is really uncalled for.
Whats next, saying my grammar sucks. Well it does. I am guilty of using bad grammar and spelling.
Look, if you want to have a pissing contest.
Is that like grade school or something?Post your trust template, then I will post mine.
This is gibberishOn the other post about a court ruling:
If your insurance says that your beneficuary is so-and-so, then the estate trust is voided.
and a merry christmas to you.Anyways, Have a Merry Christmas everyone!
So you don't hate laywers. And that isn't what you are insinuating with this statement? You just think all lawyers are lying theives who will say anything to make a buck? Seriously . . . What the heck are you saying here if you don't hate lawyers?Don't be scared of willmaker and other places. Lawyers will tell you anything so they can make money. Just FYI.
So how do you know this? Did you sleep at a holiday in last night? Not saying you are wrong and not saying that you can't get by . . . . but how do you know which website make the best trusts?Many places on the internet for you to compare your living trust to other people. Texas is a good state for trust.
And this is a blanket statement. I have fixed several trusts that were done wrong and had passed atf muster for 3-4 NFA items. Then the ATF wised up and rejected them.If you have common sense, do what you want. Many people have made their own Trust and nothing happens.

Arguin' with an attorney over a legal document is kinda like tellin' a Doctor how to operate on yer appendix. Arguin' with an attorney that's a mod....well, even *I* ain't that dumb.1

Sean did my trust, and after reading it ... it encompasses FAR more than the vast majority of us would think of. In the world of litigation where one typo or misdirected stipulation can nullify or void the entire document, it's nice knowing that I at least have something to fall back on besides Quicken tech support.
It's well, well worth the money to have someone professional do the trust. I'd rather spend $500 today and have peace of mind, rather than deal with the epic clusterfuck of dealing with the BATFE over a defunct trust on numerous items, or worse ... jailtime.
Sean also did mine. Can't beat the service of having a lawyer who can explain the NFA to you, AND give you advice on your NFA purchases. Great guy to work with AND chat guns with.
