We are so proud of the work we’re doing at Trust & Will.
From Day 1, we made the commitment to Pledge 1% as it not only aligned with our personal values, but also with our ambitions to build a wildly successful company with philanthropy ingrained in our team’s DNA. The current pandemic put us all in an uncomfortable and vulnerable position — with regards to our lives, health, and family.
As a husband to a sonographer, and having many close friends and family members in healthcare, I see and feel the stress and anxiety hitting healthcare professionals during this time. With the added pressure hundreds of thousands of healthcare professionals are facing, the last thing they should be worried about is if they and their families are at risk without having an estate plan in place.
Beginning April 1st, any healthcare professional working in a public health setting in the US, can apply to receive a free Will-based estate plan for themselves including health care documents, HIPAA Authorization and Medical Power of Attorney. Healthcare professionals can submit verification of credentials in the US here.
Many members of Team Trust & Will have friends and family that are directly impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19. It was a team decision to come together to bring this initiative to reality. Our mission is to protect families and provide them a better way to plan for life.
Trust & Will is disrupting the trust and estate planning industry with an easy, fast, and secure way to set up your estate plan online. We’ve modernized estate planning with a design-first approach, layered on top of incredible customer support to help people throughout the process — making estate planning simple, affordable, & accessible. Since starting the company in October of 2017, we’ve raised $8M in capital, went through the Techstars accelerator, lined up partnerships with MassMutual, Policygenius, and more, completed the first electronic Will in history, and have helped over 90,000+ Americans kickstart their estate plan.
