Trust & Will & Minerva

How Trust & Will uses Minerva to identify life events and deliver timely estate planning support.

“What sets Minerva apart is the team. They’ve been responsive, technically rigorous, and willing to build alongside us rather than simply hand over a generic product. That combination of data quality, engineering depth, and a true partnership mindset has made Minerva a valuable partner as we continue building more proactive, personalized experiences for our members.”

Dale Sperling, Chief Marketing Officer, Trust & Will

Trust & Will is the leading digital estate planning platform, helping families create and manage attorney-designed, state-specific estate plans. Their mission is to help every family protect what matters most and leave a legacy.

Trust & Will partnered with Minerva to strengthen their data enrichment capabilities and better understand important life events that may create a need for estate planning support. Through Minerva’s /enrich API, Trust & Will is able to enrich eligible customer and related-party records with structured household, identity, and life-event signals that can support more timely and relevant customer experiences.

As part of the partnership, Trust & Will and Minerva also developed a dedicated workflow to evaluate deceased-person indicators. Minerva’s proprietary data sources and identity resolution capabilities help surface certain death-related signals and resolve them back to known individuals within its person graph. These signals can help Trust & Will identify moments when families may need additional guidance, when account or household data may need to be updated, or when probate-related support may be relevant.

The partnership is designed to complement Trust & Will’s existing first-party data, member experience strategy, and lifecycle programs. Minerva provides valuable enrichment signals that help Trust & Will better understand customer needs so that Trust & Will can continue to deliver a best-in-class customer-first product experience and customer relationship.

“Minerva has brought valuable data infrastructure and life-event intelligence to our work. Their enrichment capabilities help us identify relevant moments where Trust & Will can provide more timely and useful support to our members. As we continue improving personalization across product and lifecycle experiences, these signals are becoming a helpful input into how we serve families more proactively.”

  • Improving the consistency and usability of enriched customer and household data
  • Identifying life events that may indicate a need to create, review, or update an estate plan
  • Supporting more relevant lifecycle messaging and member education
  • Exploring audience insights that may help inform campaign strategy and media efficiency

Together, Trust & Will and Minerva are focused on using data responsibly to make estate planning more timely, relevant, and accessible for more families.
