New to estate planning? Protect your family now by creating wills and trusts, gathering important information, and making contingencies for after you pass. It doesn't have to be complicated—learn the basics and demystify the process so you can plan now to secure your family's future.
Wills and trusts are two common estate planning tools, and each works in a different way. A will explains how you want your assets handled after you pass away. A trust can manage and protect your assets while you’re alive and after. This simple overview helps you understand both options so you can choose what fits your situation.
The Estate Planning Toolkit is an easy-to-use, subscription-based digital service managed by our partner, TruStage. It guides you step-by-step through creating legally valid estate planning documents—including a last will and testament, power of attorney, living will, and more.
This online toolkit also helps you view your overall financial picture, organize inheritance plans for loved ones, and securely store essential documents.
Beyond financial planning, the Toolkit’s Life Stories feature helps you preserve meaningful parts of your legacy. You can upload photos, videos, memories, recipes, family traditions, and personal messages—creating a digital keepsake for future generations.
