Frequently Asked Questions

Vanilla’s vision is to empower everyone to create a meaningful legacy.  We do this by making it easy for advisors to have ongoing estate planning conversations with their clients with simplified, dynamic visualizations of the estate plan that can be updated as life events occur such as the birth of a child, marriage, divorce, etc. 

Instead of interpreting legal documents and turning them into PowerPoint presentations or Excel spreadsheets, advisors can save time and reduce errors from manual work by inputting all of their client information into Vanilla. This data becomes the Client Profile and ultimately represents the estate plan. Many elements of the client profile are dynamic, so the effect of many changes can be seen in the estate plan.

Vanilla takes all of your client’s household information, financial data, and estate documents to create the dynamic visualizations of the estate plan. Financial information includes bank accounts, stock portfolios, real estate, brokerage accounts, personal property (i.e. art and car collections), and retirement accounts.

Advisors can create an on-demand, custom branded PDF report that they can share with their clients with all the information about their estate plans.
