Why SimplyTrust doesn't charge for legal docs

Most providers charge hundreds upfront for documents, then lock you into a subscription just to access what you already paid for.

SimplyTrust takes a different approach. Your trust, pour-over will, and all supporting documents are included in your membership — no separate document fee. You pay one annual subscription that covers everything: document creation, unlimited updates, life event changes, and ongoing access.

This means you never pay twice — once for the document and again for the right to use it. Your membership is the only cost.

How trusts avoid probate

When you create a revocable living trust, you transfer ownership of your assets into the trust during your lifetime. Because the trust — not you personally — owns these assets, they don't go through probate when you pass away.

Your successor trustee distributes assets directly to your beneficiaries according to your instructions. No court petition, no attorney fees, no executor fees, no public record.

The result: your family receives their inheritance in weeks instead of months, and thousands of dollars that would have gone to probate costs stay in your estate.
