Estate planning that makes sense

We started SimplyTrust because we saw too many families put off estate planning. The process was too expensive, too confusing, or just too inconvenient. We knew there had to be a better way.

What we believe

Every family deserves access to quality estate planning. Not just families with wealth managers and personal attorneys. Every family.

A trust shouldn't cost thousands of dollars. Updating your beneficiaries shouldn't require scheduling an appointment.

What we built

SimplyTrust is estate planning for how you actually live. No legal jargon. No printer required. No appointments to schedule.

Add your assets, choose your beneficiaries, and you're done. When life changes, your plan changes with you.
