About 321Trust

321Trust exists to make trusts understandable, approachable, and useful for real people—not just attorneys and ultra-wealthy families. If you’ve ever tried to read a trust document and felt your eyes glaze over, you’re in the right place. Our mission is simple: take the mystery out of legal, medical, and estate trusts so you can make confident decisions for yourself, your family, and your business.

We focus on plain-English education. That means fewer Latin phrases and courtroom stories, and more real-world examples, simple diagrams, and step-by-step checklists. Whether you’re protecting a home, planning for a child with special needs, preparing for long-term care, or thinking about how to pass a business to the next generation, 321Trust is here to give you clarity before you sit down with a professional.

What You’ll Find on 321Trust

321Trust covers the full spectrum of trust-related topics, including:

Revocable and irrevocable living trusts
Medical and Medicaid-related trusts
Special-needs trusts and care planning
Asset protection and estate tax strategies
Business and succession planning trusts
Trustee and executor duties, timelines, and best practices

Each article is designed to answer real questions people ask every day:
What problem does this type of trust solve? Who is it for? How does it actually work? What are the downsides? What should I ask my attorney before I sign anything?

Instead of long theoretical discussions, you’ll see:

Step-by-step guides and checklists
Side-by-side comparisons of different trust types
Scenario-based walkthroughs (new baby, second marriage, aging parents, selling a business, and more)
Funding basics: how assets actually get into your trust
Practical tips for choosing trustees, successors, and other key roles

Our goal is that, by the time you meet with an attorney or advisor, you already understand the big picture and can focus on the details that matter most in your situation.

Who 321Trust Is For

321Trust is built for people who want clarity before they sign important documents. That includes:

Families planning their first will and trust package
Parents of young children who want guardianship and inheritance handled responsibly
Blended families navigating second marriages and complex family trees

Professionals—like financial planners, insurance advisors, and CPAs—can also use 321Trust as an educational resource to help explain trust-related concepts to their clients.

How to Use This Site

321Trust is not a replacement for a qualified attorney, financial planner, or tax professional. Instead, think of it as your “trust translator” and preparation guide.

A simple way to use the site:

Start with an overview article about the type of trust or situation you’re thinking about.
Download or follow any checklists and question prompts.
Highlight or note the sections that sound like your situation.
Take those notes and questions to your attorney or advisor.

Arriving prepared can save you time, reduce stress, and often reduce professional fees because you’ll spend less time getting up to speed and more time tailoring solutions.

Our Approach and Values

We follow a few simple principles:

Plain English over legal jargon
Practical examples over abstract theory
Balanced pros and cons over fear-based sales tactics
Education first, decisions second

We believe every person deserves to understand the tools that can protect their family and their life’s work. Trusts shouldn’t feel like an exclusive, secret language. They’re just tools—powerful ones—that can and should be explained clearly.

A Quick Word About Legal Advice

321Trust provides educational information only. We are not your lawyers, and nothing on this site is legal, tax, or financial advice. Trust and estate planning is highly personal and depends on your state, your assets, your family structure, your health, and many other factors.

Always consult a licensed professional who can review your specific situation before you make decisions or sign documents. Use this site to get oriented, then rely on your professional team to finalize your plan.
