We make it easy and affordable to finally get it done.
Estate planning doesn’t have to mean months of meetings or thousands of dollars in legal fees. Shepherd offers a simpler alternative: an easy online estate-planning process with a financial planner helping you think through the decisions and coordinate the plan with the rest of your financial life.
Each package includes your Trust & Will online documents and personal guidance from a Shepherd financial planner. The same flat fee applies whether you’re planning for yourself or as a couple.

What we’ll cover
Guidance for the decisions ahead.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. We’ll help you organize the questions, think through the financial implications, and identify a practical next step.
01
Start with your people and priorities.
Talk about your family, responsibilities, and the wishes you want others to understand.
02
Move forward with guidance.
We’ll explain how the Trust & Will online process works and help you navigate the next steps. Legal decisions and document questions belong with a qualified attorney.
03
Connect the pieces.
Think through beneficiaries, account ownership, retirement accounts, charitable goals, and how they relate to your family’s wishes.
The right kind of help
Your documents should fit your financial life.
An online document is one part of the process. Personal guidance helps you connect it with your family’s priorities, your accounts, and the people you want to care for.
Guided process
Get help getting started.
Shepherd can help you navigate Trust & Will’s online document process and organize your next steps. Document packages are paid services.
Legal guidance
Know when to involve an attorney.
An attorney can answer questions about legal suitability, existing documents, and complex circumstances such as blended families, business ownership, or special needs.
Financial coordination
Keep the whole picture in view.
Estate documents are part of a broader financial life. Beneficiary designations, account ownership, and stewardship priorities deserve attention too.
Shepherd provides financial-planning guidance and completion support, not legal advice, legal drafting, or a review of legal sufficiency. The documents are provided through Trust & Will.
Attorney services, deed preparation and recording, notarization, and other third-party charges are separate unless expressly included in your agreement. Creating a trust does not automatically transfer assets into it.
