Create Your Living Trust — Just $50
Avoid probate, protect your assets, and make sure your family is taken care of. Our guided process makes it simple to create a comprehensive revocable living trust in about 20 minutes.
Other services charge $199–$599 for the same documents.
Why a Trust?
A revocable living trust is one of the most powerful estate planning tools available. Here is why thousands of families choose a trust over a simple will.
Avoid Probate
Assets held in a trust pass directly to your beneficiaries without the costly, time-consuming probate process.
Maintain Privacy
Unlike a will, a trust is not filed with the court. Your estate details remain private and out of public record.
Protect Assets During Incapacity
If you become unable to manage your affairs, your successor trustee can step in immediately without court intervention.
Faster Distribution to Beneficiaries
Beneficiaries can receive assets in weeks rather than the months or years probate typically requires.
Hold Property in Multiple States
A trust can hold real estate and other assets across state lines, avoiding separate probate proceedings in each state.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a DIY trust legally valid?
Yes. A revocable living trust created through our platform is a legally valid document when properly signed and executed according to your state's requirements. We provide state-specific execution instructions with every trust package. That said, we always recommend having a licensed attorney review your documents, especially for complex estates.
Do I still need a will if I have a trust?
Yes, and that is why we include a "pour-over will" with every trust package. A pour-over will acts as a safety net, directing any assets not already in your trust into the trust upon your passing. This ensures nothing is left out of your estate plan.
How is this different from other online trust services?
Most online trust services charge $199 to $599 for essentially the same documents. We believe estate planning should be accessible to everyone, which is why we offer our comprehensive trust package for just $50. You get the same core documents without the inflated price tag.
Can I make changes to my trust later?
Absolutely. A revocable living trust can be amended or revoked at any time while you are alive and mentally competent. You can return to update your trust whenever your circumstances change, such as after a marriage, divorce, birth of a child, or acquisition of new assets.
What assets should I put in my trust?
Common assets placed in a trust include real estate, bank accounts, investment accounts, and valuable personal property. We include detailed asset transfer instructions to walk you through the process of funding your trust after it is created.
How long does the process take?
Most people complete the questionnaire in about 20 minutes. Once submitted, your trust documents are generated immediately and available for review and download. The entire process can be completed in a single sitting.
