Tag: Product Updates

Kicking off back-to-school season, our product team has been hard at work developing new features designed to streamline your workflow and enhance your client’s experience. This month, we’re thrilled to introduce a host of powerful new updates, from expanded capabilities for Ester® to new scenarios in EstateFlow™ and a more seamless way for clients to request deed transfers.

Introducing Ester Insights: Guidance Beyond Summaries

Ester Executive Summaries have always provided factual, citation-rich summaries. Now, the new Ester Insights & Observations tab adds an extra layer of advisory-level intelligence.

• Flags missing or incomplete documents 
• Surfaces ambiguities that may require advisor follow-up 
• Suggests logical next steps
• Alerts you if something is out of date due to changes triggered by new laws 

This feature ensures you’re not just informed, but equipped with actionable guidance. Learn more about Ester® Insights and other recent updates in Wealth Academy. 

Ester Advanced Summaries: More Depth for Complex Trusts  

For advisors working with complex trusts, Advanced mode adds depth where it’s needed most. You can now toggle Ester into Advanced mode, which prompts even more detailed executive summaries with additional fields designed to capture nuances of complex trusts. Ester summarizes documents with amendments, so when you’re viewing in Advanced Mode, you’ll see a dedicated column for Amendment Details. 

At a glance, Ester Advanced provides: 

• 50+ new summary fields that capture nuance in sophisticated estate plans
• Amendment-specific visibility with a dedicated “Amendment Details” column
• Smarter document handling that recognizes amendments automatically

See what else is included in Ester Advanced Summaries in Wealth Academy.

Ester Now Reviews LLCs, Operating Agreements, and Amendments!

You asked, and we delivered: Ester now reviews LLCs and Operating Agreements (OAs) as well as documents with Amendments. For documents with Amendments, Ester® Executive Summaries features a new column titled Amendment Details, which calls out key information related to amendments. This means a broader, more accurate view of your clients’ estate planning documents without additional manual review.

Deed Transfer Requests Made Simple for Clients

We’ve made it easier for clients to complete deed preparation directly from Wealth.com.

Here’s how it works:

1. At the end of drafting a Joint Revocable Trust or Individual Revocable Trust, clients will now see a “Request Deed Transfer” option in the Trustees and Decision Makers section.
2. Selecting this option routes them directly to our Attorney Consultation page, with the consult type pre-selected for deed transfer.
3. Clients can quickly connect with our attorney network to complete their deed preparation, without ever having to exit the Wealth.com platform.

This upgrade ensures clients can seamlessly transition from trust creation to deed preparation, keeping the process efficient and secure.

Why This Matters for You and Your Clients:

• For Advisors: Faster reviews, smarter guidance, and more complete visibility into client documents.
• For Clients: A simpler, guided experience that reduces friction and builds confidence.
• For Firms: A stronger, more scalable process that demonstrates the value of modern estate planning.
  

That’s a wrap on September. As always, explore full release notes and tutorials in Wealth Academy to see these updates in action.

August was an exciting month with the introduction of mobile notary services and Snapshot Reports, read on to see what features you and your teams should be trying next!

Introducing Mobile Notaries!

On-Demand Notarization, From Request to Signature

Wealth.com now offers mobile notaries with our preferred provider, Sign Here Ink, giving your clients a white-glove experience that is smooth, efficient, and error-free. This service validates your client’s estate plans by bringing mobile notaries directly to your client, without requiring the advisor to manage the process.

Once documents are ready to sign, clients can request a mobile notary in our updated “Next Steps” guide, notifying the advisor to place an order. Advisors can also initiate this on their own by selecting the “Request Notary” button next to their client’s documents. Even better, these trust-certified notaries specialize in estate planning documents, so advisors can feel confident knowing that their clients will be guided properly throughout the process. Instead of sending clients to the crowded postal annex, consider booking a mobile notary and get scanbacks same-day! Learn More

Updated Next Steps Guide for Documents

Bringing Funding the Trust to the Forefront

In addition to our new mobile notary service, clients can now view clear next steps for what to do once they have drafted an estate planning document. This updated Next Steps guide will prompt clients to:

• Continue completing the rest of their documents (i.e. Advance Health Care Directive)
• How to print and validate their documents
• How to fund their trust (if applicable)

By bringing these steps to the forefront, our hope is that clients will know exactly what to do next.

Snapshot Reports Available in Report Builder

A Streamlined Alternative to Family Office Reports

While there may be times when advisors need our robust Family Office Reports, we also know there are times when advisors need something more pared down. Snapshot Reports summarize one document into a concise slide to illustrate how a trust or will operates. It’s incredibly intuitive, so you can tailor it to your needs. This visualization will be available soon for advisors using our Family Office Suite. Not on our Family Office Suite plan? We’ve got something in the works for you too…watch this space!

Start by selecting a document Ester® has reviewed. While the Executive Summary may have valuable information for the advisor, it’s not quite a client ready deliverable: that’s where the ‘View Report’ button comes in. When you select, you’ll be redirected to Report Builder where a new Snapshot Report page is available. This page features a flow chart that illustrates how the trust operates, highlighting what happens if the trustor deceases, or if the beneficiary pre-deceases the trustor.

The best part? Advisors don’t have to manually enter this information into contact cards. When selecting “Modify Details”, advisors can view summarized information that has automatically been populated into the platform for you. Less data entry, more robust insights when you need.

Presentation Views in Report Builder

Review Reports in Real-Time with Clients

We’ve introduced something new to our top navigation bar in Report Builder. For in-person meetings with clients or calls, you can show them a live view of the reports by switching from ‘Standard’ to ‘Maximized’ in the Report Builder. This gives you an instant presentation view that you can go through with your clients in real-time.

Standalone Educational Slides

Intuitive Educational Slides When You Need Them

We’ve also broken up the educational slides into their own individual slides. Let’s say you plan to show this snapshot on Leslie’s revocable trust. You can then select an educational slide on Understanding a Revocable Trust, or Differences Between a Will and Revocable Trust.

The beauty of this update is that it’s intuitive enough for the advisor to use, while giving you the proper resources to educate your clients. Any advisor can easily hop in here to customize their report to include things like the Heritage Map or the Decision Makers summary slides.

New Look for Ester® Exec Summaries

Cleaner Formatting to Match Your In-App Experience

Based on the popularity of Ester®’s Executive Summaries, we’ve updated the look and feel in line with the summaries you see in the Wealth.com platform. This might seem minor, but upgrading a specific detail like this continues to provide the content you need, at the high-quality level that you deserve. But that’s not all, we have some exciting Ester® updates coming soon…watch this space!

Download Heritage Map as a PDF

Shareable Family Trees When You Need Them

We’ve been pleased to see how many users appreciate Heritage Maps when including them in presentations within Report Builder. We know these are key visual diagrams advisors need when illustrating estate planning to clients. This is why we’re making them accessible to all users, starting this month. Easily download family tree charts and present them in client meetings, or send to your clients as a follow-up.

Rearrange Columns in the Balance Sheet

More Flexibility When Viewing Assets

Advisors can rearrange columns for inside and outside the taxable estate, giving you more control over customizing your setup to work for your needs. On the Ownership Balance Sheet page, locate the Settings gear icon, select “Edit Column Order”, and easily drag and drop from there. Also within Settings, advisors can set their default view to expand all rows for those seeking detailed visibility in the balance sheet.

One-Click Downloads for Client Documents

Easily Download from Document Checklist View

We’ve made it even easier for advisors to download client documents, starting with the Document Checklist View. Advisors can select the three dots next to any client document and select “Download”. One less click, one less step. While this might seem like a minor change, it’s one of the many ways we’re modifying the platform for a more seamless experience.

Note: Some features are currently rolling out and may not be available on all accounts.

Decision Maker Summary in ReportBuilder

Identify Opportunities for Parties Involved

We heard that you wanted a holistic overview of fiduciaries to present to clients in reports, and we delivered! Now, advisors have the option to include a slide summarizing all key decision makers across estate planning documents in the Report Builder. This improvement gives you more visibility so you can proactively address any challenges and better identify opportunities for clients.

Rich Text Editing in Ester® Executive Summary

More Intuitive Formatting, Professional Results

Thanks to user feedback, we’ve updated Ester®’s Executive Summary to now have rich text editing abilities. What does this mean for you? Instead of a standard text box, advisors can now access more robust formatting options like adding bullets, numbering, headings, bolded and italic text. Just be sure to use it wisely. (See what we did there?)

Signing Checklists Now Included in PDFs

Standardized Formatting for a Cleaner Experience

You asked, we listened. We reduced the number of documents that restart their page numbers, making it easier for you to follow one consistent sequence when locating where to sign. Users can now enjoy personalized guidance with signer-specific columns and direct references to the exact pages where signatures are required. This is applied across all six documents: IRT, JRT, AHCD, FPoA, and NoG, for both signers and co-signers. Please note this only applies to newly generated or edited PDFs, it will not apply retroactively to existing documents.

Insert Custom Pages in Report Builder

Personalization Where You Need It

In Report Builder, you can insert a custom page and add editable text. This allows you to add a personal touch for adding sections like “Goals and Objectives” or “Key Takeaways” to customize reports for clients.

Import Clients Directly from Black Diamond

Adding Clients All in One Go

To minimize manual data entry, advisors can import clients directly from their Black Diamond account. This carries over all their assets to inform other parts of the platform as you’re drafting documents. Simply go to your dashboard to click Add Client, and select Import Clients. From there, select Black Diamond and you’ll see a list for clients to import. Select the ones that you’d like to import and let our platform do the rest!

Give Feedback on Q&A Responses

Improving the Quality of Ester AI

Next time you ask Ester™ a question about a document you’re reviewing, you can provide feedback on the quality of the answer given to you. Choose the thumbs up icon to indicate if you received a good response, or the thumbs down icon if you received a poor response. By providing this feedback, our teams are able to proactively fix any issues and make adjustments so that Ester™ continues to provide insightful feedback.

View Ester® Citations in Executive Summary

Less Guesswork, More Clarity

Advisors can see multiple citations in one pagers to understand what information Ester® is using to generate the Executive Summary. Simply scroll the end of the one pager to see a full bibliography of citations in a clear view.
Each of these updates reflects our commitment to creating a more intuitive and insightful experience for you and your clients.

This means quick, one-off analyses are just a few clicks away—perfect for exploring scenarios or fielding fast client questions without building a full plan.

Ester® Adds Clarity and Confidence

Visual Boundaries for Document Insights:
Bounding boxes are back in Ester’s Executive Summary and Q&A, making it crystal clear where information has been pulled from in the source document. This visual cue helps to navigate reviews and confirmation of information with confidence.

New Tools at Your Fingertips

Heritage Map for All Advisors:
The interactive Heritage Map—once exclusive to Family Office SuiteTM Advisors—is now available to all. Simply add your client’s family members to create a family tree visual that you can walk through in detail with your clients. Deepen conversations about legacy planning with your clients by understanding family dynamics and identifying tax efficient ways to transfer assets to beneficiaries.

Smarter Document Workflows

Enhanced Signing Guidance and Consistency:
A new document signing checklist embedded directly in Wealth.com documents makes the process clearer for clients to sign their estate planning documents with greater guidance. Expect labeled signature spots, consistent page numbering, and standardized footers across document types.

eMoney Integration Gets Even Smoothe

Dive in below, and let us know what you think!

Ask Ester Anything and Bulk Upload

Free-form Q&A, multiple AI perspectives

Ester already parses estate‑planning documents and surfaces key details. Now it also answers your open‑ended questions like, “Does this trust allow discretionary distributions?” and shows side‑by‑side answers from four leading models (Gemini, Claude, Mistral, Meta). Compare viewpoints instantly, gain clarity faster.

Review entire document sets at once

Have a client with a will, trust, and healthcare directive? Drag‑and‑drop the whole folder and let Ester run concurrent reviews. No more uploading one file at a time.

eMoney integration: Import Clients & Assets in Seconds

Connect your eMoney credentials, choose the households you want, and watch Wealth.com pull in client profiles and asset data automatically. With live numbers at your fingertips, you can model strategies with confidence. No CSV jockeying required.

Coming soon: two‑way vault sync so the latest documents stay aligned in both platforms.

Ownership Balance Sheet: Customized Visual Enhancements

Advisors can now rearrange the order of columns on the ownership balance sheet making it easier for them to organize the balance sheet based on client preferences. Any changes made to the organization of the balance sheet will also be displayed in Report Builder, using continuity of data structure.

Advisors can also more clearly differentiate between assets that are held inside their clients’ estates compared to assets held outside the estates. This provides a quick visual check when considering different estate planning strategies.

Additional Improvements

• Smart validations on Asset, Trust, Will and Entity Cards to guide advisors to add missing information and fix errors to ensure that calculations and data flows correctly in EstateFlow and the Report Builder
• From the Vault, advisors and clients can now upload multiple files at once.
• From the Report Builder, advisors have the option to save a version of the report to the Vault in a new category ‘Presentation Materials’ for future retrieval and to share with clients, alongside making the Settings and Download to PDF / PPT options more accessible with design tweaks based on user behavior
• Client profiles minus email: Advisors no longer have to provide an email address for a client when creating their profile in Wealth, streamlining the account creation process for clients who will not be invited to Wealth
• Estate auto-populate: When an Advisor enters the amount of the exemption a Client has used from the Estate Tax Liability Slide, that value will populate automatically in the EstateFlow configuration panel. The state estate tax rate will also populate based on the Client’s address. This will prevent Advisors from having to manually enter these values in multiple places throughout the platform
• Historical asset values: Advisors can now select a custom “as of” date on the OBS to show asset values on a certain date, helping them streamline their client reporting.

Try It Today

Sign in and test‑drive today’s release inside your own dashboard. Bulk‑upload a client’s documents to Ester, integrate a household from eMoney, or rearrange the Ownership Balance Sheet to fit your story. As always, every note and idea you send shapes what we build next, so keep the feedback coming through in‑app chat or with your Partner Success Manager.

March Madness is here, and our product team has been on a tear, rolling out updates to make estate planning smoother and more intuitive. Advisors now have more ways to customize client-facing reports, organize documents, and streamline client data entry.

See all the latest updates below.

Scenario Builder: Model, Compare & Optimize Estate Strategies

Advisors need a powerful tool to help clients understand the impact of different estate planning strategies. Scenario Builder gives you an instant, side-by-side view of potential outcomes, helping you proactively discuss ways to preserve wealth and reduce estate tax liability.

With real-time calculations, you can model future events, such as asset growth and liquidity events, alongside sophisticated strategies like various irrevocable trust structures. The ability to instantly update scenarios allows you to adjust inputs on the fly and compare different scenarios in a clear, client-friendly visualization.

Report Builder: Presentation edits & privacy settings

We’ve made two major improvements to Report Builder, giving you more control over client presentations.

Editable presentation layer: Now you can add notes and comments directly into visualizations to clarify key details for your clients. These notes are included when downloading reports as PDFs or PowerPoints.

Blurred dollar amounts:

A new setting lets you blur dollar amounts in reports. The toggle is off by default but can be enabled in settings to preserve privacy when sharing estate details with collaborators or beneficiaries.

Ester®: Will and pour-over will differentiation

When uploading a will to Ester, you can now specify whether it’s a standard will or a pour-over will.

Pour-over wills will be automatically saved in the Revocable Trusts & Supporting Documents section of a client’s Vault, while standard wills will be stored under Wills, making it easier to keep everything organized.

Ownership Balance Sheet: Improved CSV upload template

We’ve improved the CSV upload template for assets to make data entry faster and more intuitive.

Now, when you select Upload in the Ownership Balance Sheet, you’ll have access to a refined template that includes additional details about ownership, entities, and contacts. This makes it easier to build a client’s financial picture while reducing manual data entry.

Additional updates this month

• Ester auto-reprocessing: If Ester tries to analyze a document before it’s fully encrypted in the Vault, Ester will now automatically reprocess it, ensuring a smoother extraction process.
• Beneficiary update warning: We’ve added a new warning modal to clarify that changing specific gift, residuary, or ultimate beneficiaries will replace Ester-generated summaries with your new details. This helps prevent confusion between AI-generated and manually entered information
• New privacy settings: A new privacy option is now available in advisor settings, client settings, and client footer, giving you more control over how we use cookies.
• Collapsible sub-trust sections: Sub-trust sections in contact cards are now collapsible and color-coded to match flow charts in Report Builder, making it easier to organize beneficiaries.
• Hover-to-view full names: When selecting a card from People & Entities, longer names now appear in full when hovering, helping you differentiate between entities with similar naming conventions, such as trusts.

We’re kicking off the year with major updates to Ester®, our AI legal assistant, Task Manager, and our document creation process. These enhancements empower financial advisors to deliver a better estate planning experience for their clients while providing key insights. Here’s what’s new.

Ester Updates: Now Available for All Irrevocable Trust Types and Expanded Visualization Capabilities

We’ve expanded the capabilities of our recently announced Ester® Executive Summaries—single page summaries that distill the key decisions in estate planning documents—to support all irrevocable trust types.

In addition to already supporting GRATs, ILITs, and SLATs, advisors can now leverage Ester to produce Executive Summaries for QPRTs, CRATs, CRUTs, Dynasty Trusts and more.

Ester has also been updated for those with Family Office Suite™ to easily feed the extracted information from these irrevocable trust types in the Executive Summary to visualizations for a client-facing report.

Advisors can now view a “split-screen” of the Executive Summary on one side and the ability to fill in a Trust Card on the right side. This allows easy data-transfer to feed a client’s trust information into the Report Builder and making sure that information is saved. In a future update, the Trust Card will be pre-filled by our AI.

Task Manager: Link Files to a Task

We’ve updated Task Manager so that advisors can now link files to a task. A file can be added when the task is created, at a later time, as well as tasks created by colleagues that they have access to.

For example, an advisor could attach a scanned PDF of a client’s existing trust document to a task to assign to a teammate to run through Ester and review. Or they could raise a task for someone to upload completed estate planning documents to a client’s Vault. When the task is marked as completed, the advisor who created it can cross-reference the linked files to confirm.

Document Creation: State-Specific Updates

In our efforts to continuously keep our documents up-to-date and in accordance with local legislation, we have made updates to our documents for members who live in Oklahoma. These updates have been reviewed and recommended by our local counsel.
