What Trust & Will does

Trust & Will (legal entity: Huge Legal Technology Company, A Public Benefit Corporation) is a digital estate planning platform headquartered in San Diego, California, that enables U.S. consumers to create state-specific wills, revocable living trusts, and custom estate plans online without engaging a traditional attorney. Founded in 2017 and operated by 51–100 employees, the company serves a multi-sided user base of over one million consumers, 26,000+ financial advisors, 500+ attorneys in beta, nonprofits, and 145+ enterprise financial institution partners. Its core technology, EstateOS, is an AI-rebuilt proprietary intelligent operating platform built on AWS (SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001) with a modern data layer (Apache Iceberg on S3 with Bauplan, Snowflake retained as serving layer) that powers consumer self-serve flows, advisor tools, attorney workflows, and nonprofit planned-giving operations from a single backbone.

The company monetizes through five primary revenue streams: (1) one-time direct-to-consumer purchases of Will, Revocable Living Trust, and Custom Plans starting at $199; (2) recurring EstateOS Membership subscriptions providing unlimited plan updates and smart alerts; (3) B2B managed-service partnerships with banks, credit unions, and insurers embedding Trust & Will as a member/customer benefit (e.g., Fifth Third Bank, USAA Life Insurance, Northwestern Mutual, UBS Next, Curql credit unions); (4) tiered NPO Platform subscriptions (Essentials free, Premium $588/year, Enterprise custom); and (5) data-sharing arrangements with financial institution partners. Trust & Will has raised approximately $75M in cumulative funding, most recently a $32M+ Series C led by Moderne Ventures in March–April 2025. The company achieved 456% revenue growth from 2021 to 2024 (Deloitte Technology Fast 500 #178) and 23% growth in 2025, and has executed the EZ-Probate acquisition (2022) to extend into estate settlement services. Strategic positioning rests on enterprise distribution partnerships and an AI-native technology stack differentiating it from pure-play DTC estate planning competitors, while the Public Benefit Corporation and B Corp status codify a dual social-impact and shareholder-return mission.

Broad incumbents

• LegalZoom: Largest U.S. online legal document platform offering wills, trusts, LLC formation, and a broad suite of legal services. Direct competitor in wills/trusts with vastly larger brand and consumer mindshare, but operates a far broader legal-document portfolio rather than specializing in estate planning.
• Rocket Lawyer: Subscription-based online legal platform offering wills, business formation, and attorney access. Competes directly in the online will/trust category but is positioned as a general-purpose legal service rather than an estate-planning specialist.
• Nolo: Long-standing legal information and DIY document platform (now part of Internet Brands). Competes in the will/trust DIY category with strong SEO and editorial content, but is broader than pure estate planning.

Direct peers

• FreeWill: Direct competitor focused on free online wills with a strong nonprofit planned-giving distribution model (very similar NPO GTM). Closest comparable on the free-will-plus-nonprofit model that Trust & Will also targets.
• Wealth.com: Estate planning platform purpose-built for financial advisors and wealth management firms — a direct competitor to Trust & Will's EstateOS for Advisors and the enterprise/advisor distribution motion.
• Vanilla: Estate planning software for financial advisors and institutions with similar advisor/enterprise GTM. Comparable technology stack and customer overlap with Trust & Will's advisor and bank/credit-union channels.
• Snug: Online estate planning platform offering wills and trusts to consumers with a comparable guided-quiz UX. Direct DTC competitor in the same price band, though with a smaller enterprise distribution footprint.
• GoodTrust: Digital estate planning platform offering wills, trusts, and digital-asset management. Direct competitor targeting similar consumer and small-business segments with comparable subscription/one-time pricing.
• Everplans: Legacy and estate planning platform for individuals, families, and financial advisors. Direct comparable on the consumer-plus-advisor model, particularly around secure document storage and end-of-life planning.

Emerging players

• Cake: End-of-life planning platform with adjacent focus on funeral, obituary, and legacy planning. Partial overlap with estate planning workflows; smaller scale but meaningful category adjacency and content-led consumer acquisition.
