Creating a comprehensive life and legacy plan as a Childfree individual is more important than you might think, and it all starts with the right tools.
If you’re wondering who will care for your pets, manage your finances, or distribute your assets when you’re gone, we’ve got you covered.
Our Childfree-focused service makes navigating estate planning, care directives, and digital legacies simple, empowering, and stress-free.
What sets the Childfree Trust® service apart
Whether you’re planning for your health, finances, estate, or ensuring the best care for your pets, Childfree Trust® gives you full control to shape your future the way you choose.
Nationwide next-of-kin representation for medical and financial POA, executor, and trustee
Most estate planning solutions cater to traditional family structures, often assuming the existence of adult children or immediate next of kin for crucial roles.
However, for Childfree individuals, the question of “who will step in?” can be a significant source of anxiety and a major roadblock to completing essential planning documents.
That’s where Childfree Trust® comes in.
We understand that finding a trusted individual to act as your medical POA, financial POA, executor, or trustee — someone who truly understands and will advocate for your Childfree values and wishes — can be challenging.
Your chosen family or friends, while loving, may not always have the time or expertise to navigate complex legal and financial responsibilities, and you may not want to burden them.
Through our unique partnership with a dedicated trust company, Childfree Trust® offers professional, unbiased, and unwavering support.
This ensures that:
- Your medical wishes are honored: A professional will make healthcare decisions according to your advance directives if you’re unable to, ensuring your autonomy is preserved.
- Your finances are managed securely: Your financial affairs will be handled responsibly and transparently, protecting your assets and covering your needs when you’re incapacitated.
- Your estate is administered seamlessly: A neutral, experienced third party will carry out the distribution of your assets exactly as outlined in your will or trust, alleviating the burden on loved ones.
Our service eliminates the guesswork and potential familial strain, providing you with absolute confidence that your life will be managed according to your intentions, and your legacy protected, by a professional fiduciary entity dedicated to upholding your unique Childfree plan.
Childfree-specific wills, trusts and POA
We believe every individual deserves tailored options when it comes to planning for emergency and end of life care.
Our service helps you easily draft a will even if you don’t have next of kin, assign Childfree Trust® as medical and financial powers of attorney, and plan for care during transitional periods.
These documents ensure your wishes are respected in any situation.
Simple step-by-step process
Through our easy-to-follow guided onboarding process, you can:
- Customize your estate documents to reflect your unique values, priorities, and lifestyle
- Designate trusted individuals (or Childfree Trust®) in whatever order you desire to manage finances, make medical decisions, and distribute property
- Secure your assets, ensuring they are handled with care and in line with your intentions
- Avoid costly legal fees by handling everything conveniently through our self-directed legal document creation
Flexible care plans and easy updates
Life is unpredictable, and your plans need to keep up. That’s why our service makes it simple to adjust your documents and decisions at any time — with just a few clicks.
Acquire new assets? Changed caretakers? Adopted a new cat? Need to update your will or refine your care instructions? Keep everything up-to-date and aligned with your current needs.
We have created a system of “care documents” that outline what you care about and how to ensure your wishes are followed, from your house and pets to your medical wishes and charitable wishes.
Update them any time and let us know when things change.
If you are planning a vacation, let us know and let us know if you are taking your pet with you. All of this allows us to have a picture of your life so that we can help in emergencies.
Comprehensive pet-care planning
For many Childfree individuals, pets are family.
Our service includes a robust pet care planning feature, ensuring your furry, feathered, or scaly companions are looked after just the way you want.
With this feature, you can:
- Appoint a trusted and capable caretaker for your pets
- Allocate funds for their ongoing needs, including food, grooming, and vet bills
- Add personalized instructions for their daily care, from diet specifics to favorite playtime routines
- In case of emergency, we will contact your pet caregivers for you and ensure your wishes are fulfilled
Whether you have a playful pup or a senior rescue cat, you can rest easy knowing their care is thoughtfully planned.
Seamless digital legacy management
In today’s world, your digital life is as important as your physical assets. Our service helps protect and organize your digital presence. With this feature, you can:
- Safeguard your online accounts, social media profiles, and digital subscriptions
- Specify how digital assets should be handled or distributed, from photos to cryptocurrency
- Grant secure, controlled access to trusted individuals who can manage your digital life according to your wishes
Whether you want your social profiles memorialized or important files securely transferred, Childfree Trust® streamlines the process and takes out the guesswork.
