    When I had my trust drawn up several years ago, I didn't pay much attention to the name the lawyer assigned because I was only interested in suppressors. Now, I'd like to build a SBR, but my lawyer named my trust:

    "The Benjamin S**** L******** Revocable Living Trust"

    This is a lot to try to engrave onto the side of a lower. Can I add an amendment myself, changing the name of the trust to "BSL Revocable Living Trust"? Just a page stating "I hereby change the name..." etc...?

    If you can't change the name, no reason you can't create a new 2nd trust w/ the shorter name. No limit to the number you can have. Old stuff in old trust, Form 1 SBRs in new trust. I know folks w/ multiple trusts w/ different things in them.

    That's a great idea. I can use the same words, just change the address and the name. :thumbsup: New Hampshire doesn't even require any kind of public filings or disclosures; it would be as easy as typing it up and signing.

    It might not be a bad idea to have separate trusts for suppressors and SBRs/SBSs, anyway.

    Nice and short. Thanks!

    Mine is just, "last name trust". 2 words seemed to be sufficient to the lawyer I guess.
