Estate planning knowledge for everyone
TrustedEstates.ai was built on a simple belief: every family deserves access to the same quality of estate planning knowledge that wealthy families get from expensive attorneys. We make that knowledge free, clear, and actionable.
Why we built TrustedEstates
The idea for TrustedEstates came from a painful experience. Our founder watched her father's estate get tied up in probate court for two years after he passed away without a proper plan. The family lost over $40,000 in legal fees and court costs — money that should have gone to his grandchildren.
The frustrating part? The whole thing could have been avoided with a simple revocable living trust. But nobody had ever explained to him what a trust was, why he needed one, or how to get one.
TrustedEstates exists to make sure that doesn't happen to your family. We believe that access to clear, accurate estate planning information shouldn't depend on how much money you have or whether you can afford a consultation.
"Every family deserves to know what wealthy families know."
