If you have NFA regulated firearms, I >>THINK<<, CLEO would have to sign off on the transfer regardless. Keep in mind, this only my thought. Here's a link that may help though...
Trustee(s) administer the trust’s assets for the benefit of the beneficiaries. When the Trustor / Grantor (creator of the Trust) dies the trust usually continues with a successor Trustee administering the trust for the remaining beneficiaries. Because the trust lasts such a long time, successor Trustees and contingent beneficiaries should also be designated. Such trusts are often used when the
Chief Law Enforcement Officer (CLEO) of an NFA buyer’s home city refuses to sign a Form 4 authorizing the transfer of an NFA weapon.
CLEO sign offs have become an ever increasing problem in today’s security conscious world. An
NFA trust or corporation is a separate legal entity. It is the actual purchaser of the NFA item and not an individual. Since an individual is not the purchaser (transferee) on the
Form 4 (NFA transfer document) no
CLEO approval is required. No fingerprint cards or photographs are required for transfers of Class 3 items to a trust.
