Wagner Family Irrevocable Trust · Article IV

Upon the death of the Grantor, the Trustee shall divide the remaining trust estate into separate shares for each then-living child of the Grantor, per stirpes.

The Trustee's authority shall not extend to distributions inconsistent with Article VII or Article IX, which shall control in the event of conflict.

Four outcomes — in this order

Retention. Revenue. Lead-gen. Scale.

Everything the platform does ladders back to one of four outcomes. We never ask an advisor to care about the plumbing.

01

Retention

Catches conflicts and gaps in existing plans — before your client finds them in someone else's review.

"AB trust formulas from 2015 that still presume a $600K exemption."

Read more
02

Revenue

Surfaces the cross-sell opportunities already sitting in the plan you have.

"Unapplied valuation discounts. Locked-in gifting never funded."

Read more
03

Lead-gen

Produces a one-page plan review any advisor can hand to any prospect.

"Traffic-light assessment in plain English. They see gaps. You earn the next conversation."

Read more
04

Scale

Serious estate work, without deep legal bench.

"Same analytical output, roughly zero marginal cost per case."

Plan review
The four things that most matter this year.
Trust & control

Built for a regulated desk, not a chat window.

Three rules we hold even when it makes the product slower. They're why attorneys trust the output.

Privacy-first handling

Sensitive information is minimized before any cloud model sees it. We minimize external data exposure by construction, not by promise.

Trust & Privacy →

Provenance on every finding

Confidence level, source citation, and what we don't know — attached to every number. Never an unsupported claim.

How we cite →

Review before delivery

Nothing goes out until the advisor approves it. Draft, review, request changes, mark stale — the approval chain is visible and auditable.
