When a trust is created, the grantor's intentions are captured in legal language. But legal language cannot answer the questions that arise decades from now. The Trust Voice gives trustees and beneficiaries something no document can — the ability to hear directly from you.
No financial account details are ever discussed or collected.
"How would Harold want the trust to think about a beneficiary going through a rough stretch, versus someone who's struggled for years?"
"If someone hits a rough patch — loses a job, goes through a divorce, gets sick — that's not a character flaw, that's life. I'd want the trust to be there for that person without hesitation. But if the pattern never changes year after year, that's a different conversation, and I'd want my trustee to have the courage to ask why."
▶ Video appears paused at this momentEvery year, trustees face decisions the trust document never anticipated. A grandchild wants to start a company. A beneficiary faces addiction. The world changes in ways no one could have foreseen.
In those moments, trustees must decide alone — guided only by static legal language written years or decades earlier. The one person who truly knew the answer is no longer here.
"What would they have wanted us to do?"
In a single structured day, our specialists guide clients through a comprehensive curriculum — values, family dynamics, financial philosophy, specific scenarios, and forward-looking questions designed to anticipate decisions that may arise decades into the future. Every session is professionally recorded on video.
The recorded interviews are used to build a private Voice Agent — a secure, searchable system built exclusively from the grantor's own words. Powered by AI, it understands how this specific person thought and what they prioritized. It retrieves and surfaces exactly what the grantor said on relevant topics — grounded entirely in their recorded words, never a generated guess. This is the technology that makes the grantor's own words available on demand, for as long as the trust endures.
When a trustee or beneficiary asks a question, the Voice Agent responds with a written answer drawn from the grantor's own recorded words — and the grantor's video appears, paused at the exact moment they spoke to that topic. One tap and they see and hear it for themselves. The answer is not an interpretation. It is the grantor themselves, ready to speak.
Estate planning documents explain what should happen. The Trust Voice preserves why.
What an amazing tool — it allows me to convey my written wishes and directives in a soft but concise manner. I leave behind clarification for my trustee and heirs for specific situations that are important to me, and it also allows me to tell impacted heirs my “why.” Closing out my communication with the ability to speak directly to my heirs is a gift to them and to me. I’m grateful for this personal and heartfelt tool.
I stepped into the interview not knowing what to expect, but it quickly became an organic conversation about many of the things that matter the most to me. The process was thoughtful, easy, and more meaningful than I expected. I came away feeling like my values, my wishes, and the “why” behind them had been captured in a way that the written word might not. This is really a gift to my family so they can hear it in my words.
Every answer the Voice Agent provides is anchored to video of the grantor speaking in their own words — verified, timestamped, and drawn directly from the grantor's own words. Not an interpretation. Evidence.
When the Voice Agent responds, the grantor's video appears paused at the precise moment they spoke to that topic. No link to follow. No searching. The grantor is right there, ready to speak.
Each client's Voice Agent is entirely isolated. No data from one client's trust is ever accessible to another. The system is built on enterprise-grade infrastructure with bank-level security protocols.
The Trust Voice is built with perpetuity in mind. Your client's voice and intentions are preserved in a secure, redundant archive — available for as long as the trust remains active, whether that is 10 years or 60.
The Trust Voice does not replace the trust document, the trustee, or the attorney's role. It complements the legal structure — making it work better for everyone involved across every generation it serves.
For clients facing contested or high-risk signings — blended families, late-life amendments, disinherited heirs — a contemporaneous, well-documented record of your client's own reasoning is a meaningful layer of protection against a future contest. It's the same logic behind arranging a capacity evaluation for a high-risk signing, applied more broadly.
Estate attorneys already use letters of wishes alongside trust documents. The Trust Voice is the natural evolution of that concept — dynamic, queryable, and verified by the grantor's own recorded voice.
