This has always been my position and the reason I only draft them for folks in my state. I believe drafting a trust for someone in another state (which you are inherently warranting to be a valid trust in that state) would be considered practicing law in that state. I haven't looked at any statutes or ethics opinions on this so, I stand to be proven wrong. Just my $.02.

I agree and only draft for those in my home State of OHIO (go bucks) and in my home State it would be unauthorized practice of law for an out of State atty to even give legal advice let alone draft a trust.
 
Re: Arkansas gun/nfa lawyer

Thanks for all the replies but i was hoping to find someone semi-local. Kinda old fashioned I guess but still prefer face to face when possible. I don't really care if they just do "gun" law, but would prefer if they could spell NFA.
