Frequently Asked Questions
Straight Answers, Before You Ever Book.
The questions families ask us most — answered honestly. If yours isn't here, your strategy session is the best place to ask it.
Isn't a will enough? Why do I need a trust or a full system?
A will is not a plan — it's an instruction sheet that still goes through probate, publicly and often slowly. Even a living trust, set up incorrectly, can leave you exposed on the public record. A Wealth Protection System coordinates the right structures so your assets can pass privately and stay protected. In your session, if what you already have is solid, you'll leave knowing it. If it isn't, you'll leave knowing that too — before it costs your family.
Do I need to be wealthy for this to make sense?
No — and often the opposite is true. The best time to protect what you're building is before you've finished building it. Families, first-generation earners, business owners, and investors all benefit from structure that protects assets from day one instead of after it's too late. We'll recommend only what fits your situation.
Is what you do actually legal?
Completely. We use the same legal structures the wealthiest families have relied on for generations. It was never a secret — it simply was never taught to the rest of us. Every document is produced and reviewed by the licensed professionals on our team and built to comply with your state's requirements.
Will my trust be valid in my state? Do I still need an attorney?
Your documents are produced and reviewed by licensed professionals so they're valid and done right for your state. You get the strategy, the education, and the guidance; the legal work is handled properly and compliantly. Every plan is subject to attorney review.
How long does the process take?
Most families are fully protected in 60 days or less. From your first conversation to your completed system, you'll always know the next step, who's handling it, and when it will be done — our client-care team is built around getting you across the finish line.
What happens during the complimentary strategy session?
We learn about your family and what you own, identify where you're exposed today, and recommend the system designed to protect what matters most — along with a precise, transparent quote. There's no obligation, and every recommendation begins with one question: "What are you trying to protect?"
What can go into a Personal Property Trust — and what can't?
A simple rule: "If it holds money → $1,500" (bank, brokerage, crypto, alternatives, annuities) and "if you can touch it → $750" (vehicles, precious metals, collectibles, firearms, high-value equipment). Retirement accounts (IRA, 401k, pensions) and custodial/education accounts (529, UGMA, UTMA) are not placed into these trusts, to avoid tax penalties and ownership conflicts. We map your specific assets in your session.
How much does it cost, and when do I pay?
Each system starts from published floor pricing — the Family Legacy Protection Plan begins at $4,997. Your exact investment is confirmed after your session based on your assets, entities, funding, drafting complexity, attorney review, and state requirements, and is paid in full before work begins. See our Pricing Philosophy page for full ranges.
What makes The GoGetter Family different from a document service?
Most firms draft documents, collect payment, and close the file. We educate first, build a coordinated system, fund it correctly, and stay with you through implementation and ongoing Wealth Protection Reviews. You get a firm and a team — not a form.
Can my spouse be involved, and what should we prepare?
Please involve your spouse — this is family business. It helps to bring a simple list of what you own (home, properties, accounts, business interests) so we can map it to the right structures in real time.
The best answers come from a real conversation.
