About Us
Estate planning is vital for anyone who wants to ensure their loved ones are cared for when they’re gone. But traditional estate planning is broken. It’s confusing, expensive, and tedious, and it’s often done without regard to a person’s financial plan. Vanilla is here to change all that. We are reinventing estate planning for financial advisors, attorneys, and their clients. We’re transforming it into an ongoing conversation, where dense legal documents are brought to life through easy-to-understand visualizations, and considered in concert with clients’ financial plans and evolving life milestones and goals.
Vanilla is the world’s first estate advisory platform, built by advisors and estate professionals to help deliver a modern, visual estate planning experience to their clients. Harnessing a purpose-built AI engine called VAI, the Vanilla platform provides valuable insights to advisors and attorneys while demystifying the planning process for clients at all levels of wealth. Vanilla supports the entire estate planning process, including understanding client goals and current plans, visualizing the plan, and strategizing on taxes. Clients can even create trusts, healthcare directives, powers of attorney, and more through Vanilla. The Vanilla platform enables advisors, planners, and attorneys to foster stronger relationships, achieve greater retention, and help their clients build meaningful legacies.
