JIC Estates is the highest rated estate planning company on TrustPilot and the pioneer of holistic estate planning.

We focus on the whole person -- not just the legal documents in your estate plan -- to create your true legacy and pass on your personal stories, memories, and values to the next generation.

JIC Estates's answer

JIC Estates operates exclusively in the United States.

While every American adult should create an estate plan, the majority of our members are 30-55 years old. Many have recently undergone a major life milestone such as getting married, having a child, death of a family member, or moving to a new job or state.

JIC Estates's answer

For centuries, estate planning has treated individuals as a mechanism to transfer assets.

We believe you are more than that.

Sure, we'll help you transfer those assets through creating your last will or revocable living trust.

But we'll also help you preserve and share your true legacy -- the values, memories, and experiences you have with loved ones.

JIC Estates's answer

Our JIC Estates Co-Founders teamed up to launch JIC Estates following frustration with their families' personal estate planning experiences.

For Co-Founder Luke Skarzynski, it was his grandfather's passing. "Gramps did everything right. He built a loving family, terrific career, and when it came time to create his estate plan, he engaged an estate planning attorney and financial advisor." Despite following the traditional playbook, when Gramps passed away, things were a bit of a mess. "I watched as my mom, aunts, and uncles were thrust into the chaos that is estate administration at the very time they were still trying to grieve for and treasure their memories with Gramps." If this was what 'following the playbook' looked like, it was time to throw that playbook out the door.

For Co-Founder Morgan Alcalay, it was his parents' creating their own last will. After his dad spent several weeks searching for a competent estate planning attorney, a couple hours later, he got the bill – more than $1,000 to complete the basic last will package. “My dad is a pretty organized guy, and so I was at first surprised that he hadn’t done this already. As soon as he started describing the process, I understood why. The inconvenience finding a trustworthy attorney, the huge cost, my dad calling to explain my role in a legalese ridden document I’ve still never seen – all to shove this thousand dollar plus piece of paper in a dusty drawer."
