How It Works

How the planned Trust With Us process works, what you can do today, and which steps stay in your hands.

From first question to a funded trust

Here is the full path the service is designed around. Each step is labeled so you can see what you can do today, what is planned, and what you handle yourself.

    Send an inquiry telling us your state, and we’ll let you know what’s available.

    Complete a guided online questionnaire with explanations. You will be able to save your progress and review your answers before submitting.

Who to ask about what

Questions about our service — availability, what a package includes, how the process works or the status of an inquiry — go to us through the contact form.

Questions about your own situation — which kind of trust is right for you, tax consequences, how to title a particular asset, or planning for a family member with special needs — call for advice from an independent attorney, tax professional or financial advisor. Trust With Us does not provide legal or tax advice.
