My NFA gun trust clients frequently ask who needs to sign their Colorado NFA gun trust documents when the gun trust is created. The settlors (the creators of the gun trust) and trustees (the persons allowed to use and possess the gun trust property) are required to sign the Colorado gun trust documents in the presence of two witnesses and a notary. The successor trustees (the persons who might be allowed to use and possess the gun trust property in the future) do not need to sign, nor do they even need to know that they have been identified as successor trustees. Similarly, the beneficiaries (the persons who might inherit the gun trust property in the future) do not need to sign, nor do they need to know that they have been identified as beneficiaries.
