Anyone set up a gun trust in Illinois? Not for NFA stuff, just for regular guns. Family who live in Illinois get a FOID card for just this purpose. Out of state family wouldn't need a FOID.
The reason I ask is that last fall my mom passed away, and as an executor on her will/trust I have had a crash course in how money/possessions/etc in her trust gets handled differently than what's in the estate. 1 example is that money in her trust checking account had beneficiaries designated while her regular checking account didn't, so the trust account is protected from creditors. I would like to do something similar with firearms, accessories, etc. in that I would designate 1 or more family members as secondary trustees so that in the event something were to happen to me they could take posession without any drama.
If you've done this can you share your experience and/or point me to a lawyer familiar with doing a gun trust in Illinois?
Thanks in advance
