Trust & Will

Trust & Will democratizes estate planning by making it affordable for everyone. Traditional estate planning with attorneys costs $1,500-$3,000+. Many families skip planning entirely because of cost. Trust & Will solves this by offering $199 wills and $499 trusts, making basic estate planning accessible to the 90% of Americans who don't have adequate plans.

Legally Valid Documents

Trust & Will generates state-specific documents that meet all legal requirements for wills, trusts, and guardianship designations. Documents are executed according to your state's witnessing and notarization rules. Courts accept Trust & Will documents for probate and trust administration. This legitimacy is crucial for peace of mind.

Simple Guided Process

The Trust & Will questionnaire takes 20-30 minutes. Answer straightforward questions about family structure, assets, and wishes. The platform generates state-specific documents automatically. No legal knowledge required. Mobile-friendly interface makes it easy to complete on any device.

Critical Feature: Guardianship Designation

Parents with minor children can designate guardians if something happens to them. This is included free with any Trust & Will plan. Without this designation, courts choose guardians—often contrary to parents' wishes. This feature alone justifies using Trust & Will.

Will vs Trust: What's Right for You

A will is essential for everyone. It names guardians for minor children, designates beneficiaries, and appoints an executor. A trust is beneficial if you have significant assets, want to avoid probate, have real estate in multiple states, or have complex family situations. Trust & Will offers both.

Optional Attorney Review

While Trust & Will documents are legally valid without attorney review, you can add attorney review for additional confidence. This is ideal for complex estates or those uncomfortable with DIY planning. Attorney review adds cost but is still cheaper than full attorney planning.

Easy Updates and Amendments

Life changes. Marriages, births, divorces, and financial changes may require document updates. Trust & Will provides free updates for one year, then $19/year. This makes keeping documents current affordable and simple.

Trust & Will has served 500,000+ families and maintains strong security. Documents are encrypted and stored securely. However, estate planning is serious business—complex situations or significant assets warrant attorney consultation.

Best for: Families wanting affordable estate planning without attorney costs. Parents needing guardianship designations for minor children. People with straightforward financial situations (house, savings, retirement accounts). Those wanting to create or update documents quickly and easily.

Maybe not for: Complex estates with significant assets or real estate. Business owners with business succession planning needs. Families with blended family dynamics requiring specialized planning. Those wanting ongoing attorney relationship.

Cost comparison: Trust & Will $199-499 vs LegalZoom $300-1,000+ vs Traditional attorneys $1,500-3,000+. For basic wills and trusts, Trust & Will saves thousands while providing legally valid documents.
