Gun Trust Attorneys Serving Oregon

A gun trust can serve as an effective means for allowing the transfer and possession of Class 3 (Title II) firearms such as machine guns, short-barreled guns and suppressors. A gun trust can also be used as a vehicle to transfer firearms during the probate process.

However, there are many complex aspects of gun trust laws that have the potential to expose gun owners, gun dealers and corporate entities to criminal prosecution. For example, gun trusts are state-specific. To be valid in Oregon, it must comply with Oregon law. However, some gun dealers may use generic gun trust forms that may not be valid in Oregon.

Before you act to create an Oregon gun trust, you should consult with an experienced attorney. To learn more about gun trusts and how Short Law Group can help you, call 503-747-7198.
