estate planning & trust execution

Your trust built, notarized, funded, and verified.
In one 2-hour session from your living room

Most estate plans get drafted but never control a thing, because the assets never make it inside.

We put your home, accounts, and investments inside the trust with you, then make sure it's actually done.

Restating my existing Revocable Living Trust was a five-star experience.

Restating my existing Revocable Living Trust was a five-star experience. Their professionalism, knowledge and guidance of what I needed to update my trust was a huge aid to help me make the right decisions for my trust. They were remarkably quick to respond to any questions I had.

It was a very easy process online with them to make the updates and complete the restated trust in only a couple of online meetings! Knowing now how easy this process is, there is no reason for anyone to put off creating a trust for their family. S.T.E.P. truly is what it says, they are specialized in assisting people who need this service but have no idea of how to get started.

I used Jon Sanchez S.T.E.P. services to restate my out-of-date trust.

My existing trust had been generated by a large attorney firm. The S.T.E.P. process uncovered several undesirable entries, previously unknown to me. Once restated, Mr. Sanchez patiently, articulately, and comprehensively reviewed, line-by-line, the restated trust with me. Just as important, I am receiving detailed guidance on correctly retitling every asset held in the trust. Unlike the trust generated from the attorney firm, I have complete confidence that the S.T.E.P. restated trust, and updated asset titling, achieves my intentions.

I had an excellent experience with S.T.E.P. (Specialized Trusts & Estate Plans).

Jon and his team are knowledgeable, professional, and took the time to clearly explain the process. They made what could have been a complicated and overwhelming experience feel organized and manageable. Communication was consistent and timely, which gave us confidence throughout.

Jon truly cares about his clients and makes you feel like you are his top priority. I would highly recommend S.T.E.P. to anyone looking for reliable and trustworthy estate planning services.

I recently engaged Specialized Trusts & Estate Plans to assist me

With the updating of our wills, living trust, advanced directive, etc. as a part of our estate planning. This was increasingly necessary due to my wife's onset of multiple myeloma (blood cancer). Once the process engaged, it went very smoothly and our entire estate planning was put into place seamlessly, effectively, and very quickly.

We couldn't have been more pleased with the entire process. I would highly recommend this experience to all other people wishing to create or upgrade their plans.

Nothing left on your to-do list

We handle the documents, the notary, and getting your accounts moved into the trust. You don't get sent home with homework.

The traditional estate planning process fails
at the same step, and you don't find out
until it's too late to fix

A trust only controls what's actually been put in its name. Your house, your bank accounts, your investments.

If it doesn't get “funded”, the trust owns nothing.

So when you're gone and your family reaches for the plan, none of it happens the way you decided.

Who gets what. How long they wait before they can touch any of it. Whether your spouse can keep paying the bills next month.

A judge decides all of that instead, in probate court, on the court's timeline.

The attorney leaves the funding step to you. So does the DIY site.

And it's the step where most estate plans fail.

We Created the First Process That Creates, Notarizes, Funds, and Verifies Your Trust in One 2-Hour Session

It's called the S.T.E.P.™ Signature Trust Process.

And I built it because what I just described happened to my own father.

He handed me a USB drive in the ICU and asked me to make sure his trust was in order.

On paper, it looked right:

Drafted

Structured

Professional Prepared

But it was never funded

His attorney had told him to handle that part himself. When I called her about it, that was the end of the conversation.

Everything he was proud to pass down to the people he loved none of it went where he intended.

So that’s when I built the The S.T.E.P.™ Signature Trust Process.

The S.T.E.P.™ Signature Trust Process

Here are the steps you’ll go through once you’re ready to start the process

First, we build your plan

Step by step planning

Step 1

Discovery & Plan Selection

Plan Selection

A Certified Estate Planning Advisor introduces you to the S.T.E.P.™ process, answers your initial questions, and helps determine the right path forward for your family.

Step 2

Create & Notarize

Create & Notarize

In one guided session, your full plan is built, reviewed with you in plain language, and notarized right from home. Everything is state-specific and legally binding.

In states that do not allow remote notarization, a notary comes to your house. Then it all goes into your secure vault.

 This is where most estate plans stop. Ours is just getting started

Then — Trust & Verify™ (the step everyone else skips)

Step 3

Fund Your Trust

Trust icon

A drafted trust controls nothing until your assets are actually inside it. We help you and retitle every one — home, bank, brokerage, business — and follow up until it's done.

Step 4

Verify & Stay

Verify icon

Your Client Relationship Specialist audits the complete file to confirm every step was finished correctly. After that, they're available for annual reviews, or just to call and check in.

Trust and verify
And all this is handled start to finish without weeks of delay.
At roughly half the cost of a traditional estate planning attorney. Plus your advisor remains available after the plan is done.
