⚡ Attorneys charge $3,000–$5,000 for a trust. Trustmaker starts at $497. Same protection. Fraction of the cost.
⚠️ Families Without a Living Trust

Your family could lose
everything to probate court.
Or you can stop it today.

Without a living trust, your estate goes through probate — 12–18 months, 4–7% of your estate in fees, and every detail made public record. A Trustmaker living trust prevents all of it, starting at $497.

The Cost of Doing Nothing

What happens to your family
if you don't have a trust

Probate isn't just expensive — it's a public, slow-moving process that strips your family's privacy and delays the assets they need.

12–18

Months Locked in Court

Your family can't access assets, sell the home, or settle finances while probate drags on. Bills don't pause. Life doesn't pause.

4–7%

Of Your Estate — Gone

On a $600,000 California home, that's $24,000–$42,000 in mandatory probate fees. Paid to the court and attorneys, not your family.

100%

Public Record

Every asset, every debt, every beneficiary — exposed. Probate filings are public documents that anyone can access.

Questions & Answers

What people ask before they start

Is this the same as hiring an attorney? +
We prepare your trust documents — attorneys provide legal counsel. For most families, document preparation is all you need. However, if your estate exceeds federal or state estate tax thresholds, or your situation overlaps other legal areas (business ownership, litigation, complex family disputes), we'll tell you directly and refer you to a trusted attorney. We're actively building attorney partnerships so you're never left without a next step.
How long does it take to get my documents? +
Documents are prepared within 3–5 business days of your intake call. After that, you sign online through Notarize.com at your convenience. Most clients go from first call to fully signed trust in about a week.
Do I need a notary? How does that work? +
Yes — your trust documents must be notarized to be legally valid. We use Notarize.com to connect you with a certified notary — available online, on your schedule, from any device. No office visit required. Once your documents are prepared, we'll send you a direct link to schedule your notarization session. Fast, convenient, and legally recognized.
Can I change my trust later? +
Yes — these are revocable living trusts, meaning you can change them anytime during your lifetime. Life changes: new children, new property, divorce, updated beneficiaries. We handle amendments directly. Pricing depends on what needs updating — contact us for a quote and we'll take care of it.
What if I'm not sure which trust type I need? +
Don't worry about it — we figure it out together on your intake call. You don't need to know which trust type you need before booking. Just show up, tell us about your family and assets, and we'll identify the right document for your situation before any money changes hands.
Is my home automatically covered by the trust? +
No — your home must be transferred into the trust separately via a Quitclaim Deed. We handle the deed drafting for you ($200 per property, included in the Premium Plan). Once drafted, the deed needs to be recorded with your county recorder's office to be legally effective. We'll walk you through exactly how to do that. Without this step, your home could still go through probate even with a trust in place.

Your family deserves to be protected.
