Why Trust & Will Is Changing the Future of Estate Planning

Planning your legacy doesn’t have to be expensive or overwhelming.

Trust & Will has become one of the most trusted names in online estate planning (aff), offering fast, affordable, and legally valid solutions that help families take control of their future.

What Makes Trust & Will Stand Out

1. Simplicity That Works for Everyone
Their step-by-step platform is intuitive, guiding you through everything from wills to trusts with plain-language explanations and prompts. No legal jargon, no confusing paperwork.

2. Legally Valid in All 50 States
Trust & Will documents are state-specific and attorney-approved, meaning they hold up when they’re needed most. You’ll get peace of mind knowing your wishes are protected and legally enforceable.

3. Unmatched Affordability
Starting at just $199, it’s a fraction of the price you’d pay with a traditional estate attorney—without sacrificing quality.

4. Perfect for Busy Families
Everything is done online—from the comfort of your couch. You can create, review, and finalize your plan on your own time.

Who Needs Estate Planning?

Everyone. Not just the wealthy. Not just the elderly. If you have children, property, or people you love, you need a plan. Trust & Will makes sure:

  • Your children will be cared for by the people you choose
  • Your assets will go where you want them to
  • Your family avoids the stress and cost of probate

Many families now pair estate planning with intentional storytelling. Explore The Legacy Journal to leave behind more than instructions—leave behind meaning.

    Do Executors Need a Probate Lawyer? When Going Without a Probate Attorney Becomes Dangerous
    Not every estate needs an attorney, but most do. Simple estates under $500,000 with clear wills and straightforward assets might be safe for DIY administration. But estate tax requirements, business interests, real estate in multiple states, will contests, or creditor disputes require professional help.

    The Executor Errors You Can’t Undo: Costly Mistakes That Become Your Financial Problem
    Some executor mistakes you can fix with amended filings or apologies. Others are permanent. Paying beneficiaries before creditors, missing tax deadlines, selling assets without authorization, destroying property before inventory, and self-dealing create personal liability that lasts years beyond estate closure.

    Digital Executor Duties Nobody Prepared You For: Crypto, Cloud Accounts & Social Media Access Laws
    Traditional executor guides focus on bank accounts and real estate, ignoring the digital assets that now comprise significant portions of estates. Cryptocurrency wallets, cloud storage with irreplaceable family photos, social media accounts, NFTs, and password-protected online businesses create executor duties nobody teaches you about. Without proper legal authority and technical knowledge, executors lose access to assets worth thousands or destroy digital legacies families can never recover.
