Vanilla enables advisors to have ongoing conversations with their clients about their estate plans. An advisor has the ability to create milestones, allowing them to track what planning has been done in the past and what needs to be completed in the future for their clients. Vanilla also suggests opportunities to identify the details about the estate for further review and prioritization (i.e. beneficiary and document updates and funding of trusts).
Advisors can create an on-demand, custom branded PDF report that they can share with their clients. Easily visualize the estate with sections for the family tree, estate overview, the balance sheet that shows what’s inside and outside the estate, estimated tax calculations and more.
As the person most familiar with their clients’ overall financial situation, advisors should be communicating with their clients frequently, especially as life events occur (marriage, new baby, divorce, move to a different state, change in health conditions, change in wealth). Once a review of the client’s documents is completed, the advisor can update the financial inputs at any time. The platform will dynamically reflect these updates in the estate plan visualizations.
