Modern Trust Launches Online Estate Planning Service

Los Angeles-based Modern Trust said this morning that it has launched a new online site to help people create and maintain living trust and estate planning documents. The startup, led by Daniel Hales, said it is tackling the time-consuming, tedious and expensive process of creating a trust and dealing with estate planning, which the company says has traditionally involved numerous in-person meetings with lawyers, advisors and lots of paperwork and paper documents. The startup says it offers up personalized, step by step, interactive guide to help navigate through a variety of planning options, make informed decisions and ultimately create their living trust online where it will be archived and remain accessible in digital form. The company said Hayes is a long time trust and estate planning attorney.
