Our mission is to make estate planning and settlement as inexpensive and accessible as possible. A plan before a death, and a clear path after one, whether you work with an attorney or on your own.
SimplyTrust is a legal technology company. It publishes a free library of state-specific estate planning and settlement material: forms you fill out here and sign in your state, tools that answer what probate costs and who inherits, and directories of how each bank, online account, court and law firm handles a death.
Two products are paid. The trust platform creates a revocable living trust you sign, amend and notarize online. The settlement plan keeps an estate's checklist, inventory and paperwork in one place from the first week through the final distribution.
The two paid products pay for everything that is free. No bank, court, program or law firm pays to be listed in a directory. The free forms ask for an email address to send you the finished document, and that is the whole price.
Every state rule on this site is read from the statute, the court's own fee schedule or form, or the institution's own published documents. Never from a summary of one. Each fact carries the date it was last checked, and the citation shows on the page where the fact is used.

Laws change. When a rule moves, it is corrected at the source so every page that uses it changes at once. When a source cannot be reached, the fact is held back rather than written from memory.
SimplyTrust is not a law firm and does not give legal advice. Our Chief Legal Officer is an estate planning attorney, and the documents are designed to meet your state's execution requirements, but no attorney reviews the document you create. Consult a licensed attorney for legal questions about your situation. The attorney directory lists estate planning and probate firms by state.
