If the transfer to the trust occurred on or before July 15, 2016, then you can designate a new trustee/responsible person and give them custody.
If the transfer to the trust occurred after July 15, 2016, then RP's cannot be added, period.
100% wrong.
That was the whole point of the rule change. As to transfers made after July 15, 2016, no one can be a RP unless they have applied to ATF and been approved. But there is no way to obtain approval of an RP from ATF unless it has been applied for with the transfer.
How many NFA transfers do you do a year? I'm guessing ZERO.
When submitting a Form 4 as a trust, every member of the trust who meets the definition of "responsible person" must submit fingerprints, photos and the RP questionnaire.
The only way to "add" or change RP's for such trusts is to do a transfer to a new trust, which requires another $200 stamp and a 10-month wait, but in that process you can add anyone you want as a RP so long as they apply and get approved by ATF in the initial application.
Absolute nonsense.
AFTER the Form 1 or 4 is issued.......you can add as many new members to your trust as you desire. No prints, no photos, nothing reported to ATF.
Again, from the post below, the only time a member of a trust must submit fingerprints, photos, responsible person questionnaire is at the time of form 4 submission.
Members added after the tax stamp is issued do not.
It's the reason the Silencer Shop Single Shot Trust is so popular. The F4 is submitted with one name, the trust specific to a single NFA firearm. On approval and issuance of the tax stamp, the grantor can add as many additional members as he desires via a simple amendment.
