| Additional Information about Successor Trustees |
| As the person creating the trust, you are also the manager of the trust. But if something happens to you that makes it impossible for you to continue managing the trust, the Successor Trustee will take over that position. |
| The ATF requires you to have a Successor Trustee. |
| The Successor Trustee is not a Responsible Person, so you don’t have to send their fingerprints and mugshot to the ATF when you buy or build Silencers & SBRs. |
| Your Successor Trustee does not need to sign the trust. |
| If you want the Successor Trustee to be able to possess your NFA Firearms, you must also make them a Co-Trustee (which does require fingerprints and mugshot). It’s okay to have the same person listed as the Successor Trustee and as a Co-Trustee. |
| The ATF does not allow you to name yourself as the Successor Trustee |
