Gun Trusts: Do You Need One?

Published: April 26, 2020, 1:24 p.m.

We occasionally get asked about "gun trusts." Does everyone who owns a firearm need to think about setting up a gun trust? Or is this something only gun dealers need to worry about? For most casual firearm owners, there's no need to worry about a separate trust to handle guns. But join us for our podcast episode, as we talk through the issues with a nationally-known expert on gun trusts. Prof. Gerry Beyer, who teaches law at the Texas Tech College of Law in Lubbock, speaks about the issue all over the country on a regular basis. Prof. Beyer is also well-known for speaking on topics like pet trusts and electronic wills. He was gracious enough to sit down with us recently to discuss the relationship between estate planning and firearm ownership.
