The Difference

Why a trust, not just a will

Revocable Trust
✓ Avoids probate
✓ Keeps estate private
✓ Covers incapacity
✓ Business continuity
✓ Updated easily
✓ Takes effect immediately
Will Only
✗ Goes through probate
✗ Becomes public record
✗ No incapacity plan
✗ May force business sale
✓ Can be amended
✗ Only after death

A will alone goes through probate, becomes public record, and leaves gaps for incapacity. A revocable living trust gives you continuous, private control — while you're alive and after.

Three Steps

How it works

01

Complete Your Intake

Our AI-guided estate questionnaire maps your family, business, and assets in about 10 minutes — no legal jargon, no guesswork.

02

Get Your Wealth Map

Receive a personalized estate analysis showing your exposure, complexity score, and recommended planning path — before you spend a dollar on legal fees.

03

Meet Your Attorney

We match you with a licensed estate planning attorney who already has your full picture — so your first conversation is strategic, not introductory.

Built For

Who is this for

F

Founders & Business Owners

Your business is your largest asset — and the most vulnerable. A trust prevents probate delays that could kill your company and protects against creditor claims.

Y

Young Professionals

You don't need to be wealthy to need a trust. If you have a 401k, real estate, or a growing career, planning now locks in low-cost protection before life gets complex.

G

Growing Families

Name guardians, protect minors' inheritance, and ensure your family is cared for on your terms — not a court's. A trust keeps everything private and immediate.

R

Real Estate Investors

Multiple properties across state lines create probate exposure in every jurisdiction. A trust consolidates your portfolio and enables seamless transfers.

Questions

Frequently asked

The one-time intake fee covers your AI-guided estate questionnaire, your personalized Wealth Map analysis, AI Diagnostic Report, and your initial attorney consultation. Your fee ($250–$400) is determined by your estate's complexity — not a flat rate. Complete the intake and our system automatically calculates your tier based on factors like multi-state property, business ownership, and family structure.
No. AethosTrust is an estate planning education and relationship management platform. We are not a law firm and do not provide legal advice. Your estate plan is drafted and executed by a licensed estate planning attorney in your state. We serve as the advisor layer — helping you understand, prepare, and stay current.
After your attorney consultation, your licensed attorney drafts your estate documents based on your Wealth Map and discussion. Once you review and approve, they execute the documents. From there, your AethosTrust membership keeps you covered with annual reviews, life event check-ins, and amendment support — your plan grows with you.
Absolutely. You can upgrade your tier at any time. Many clients start with Foundation and move to Architect or Legacy as their estate grows or becomes more complex. Your existing documents and history carry forward — you'll never have to start over.
Age is less relevant than what you own and who depends on you. If you have a retirement account, real estate, a business, or a partner — a trust provides protection a will simply cannot. A 35-year-old has a 50% chance of becoming disabled for 90+ days before age 65. Planning now is about protecting your present, not just your future.
AethosTrust currently serves clients in Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia, and New York. We match you with attorneys licensed in your specific jurisdiction. National expansion is planned — join our intake to be notified when we reach your state.
