AI-Guided Trust Generation · SD Attorney Review & Approval
Projected value at 90 assumes a 4.6% pre-tax compound annual growth rate over a 60-year horizon, with no additional contributions and no distributions modeled. Estate costs avoided assumes probate fees of ~2.5% of total estate value plus an estimated $5,000 in annual trust-related attorney fees over the trust's lifetime. A revocable trust does not avoid state income tax or federal estate tax — those benefits require migration to an irrevocable non-grantor structure.
For people with assets over $1M, having a trust generates significant benefits for you and your family over the long-run.
Lay out a clear plan for your loved ones in the event of incapacitation. A trust defines who steps in, what they can do, and how your assets are distributed — whether triggered by incapacitation, or simply how you want to distribute your assets during your lifetime.
Assets in a trust transfer directly to your beneficiaries according to the plan you laid out, entirely avoiding the painful, costly, and time-consuming probate process. Ask anyone who has been through probate — it is very much worth avoiding.
Set aside assets that are untouchable from creditors, lawsuits, and divorcing spouses. South Dakota’s asset protection laws are ranked #1 in the country — with a 2-year creditor lookback window and a high burden of proof on challengers that gives your trust uncommon strength.
Trust assets in South Dakota compound for decades without state income or capital gains tax. Distribute those assets cost-effectively to your beneficiaries throughout your lifetime. Upon incapacitation, your assets are not subject to the 40% federal estate tax.
Trust services have always been a human craft. But for decades, the people delivering them have spent the majority of their time on paperwork, not with you. We built Veros to invert that ratio — so AI and software can do the tedious work, and the people we hire can build the relationships that matter.
In South Dakota — the state with the strongest trust asset protection and privacy laws in the country, no state income or capital gains tax so trust assets compound more quickly, and no rule against perpetuities that enables assets to be passed down across multiple generations without estate tax.
The foundational “starter” estate plan.
You — the trust creator or “grantor” — remain in full control. Changes to assets, beneficiaries, and distribution provisions are allowed at any time, so we suggest setting up a revocable grantor trust as a starting point. The assets you place into a revocable trust have a clear distribution plan to your beneficiaries in the event of incapacitation, and avoid probate at death.
A more sophisticated estate plan as life becomes more complicated.
You — the trust creator or “grantor” — fully separate yourself from assets in the irrevocable trust. As a result, your assets become protected from creditors, and they compound over decades in South Dakota without state income or capital gains tax. Upon incapacitation, your assets pass down to your beneficiaries without paying the 40% federal estate tax.
