Trust Kit — one-time
Drafts your real trust declaration (12 articles + 3 schedules) plus unlimited, free Funding Assignments to add assets. You pay once — you never pay again to add an asset.
You do not need our Trust Kit. If you already have a valid, executed trust, bring it — the free Funding Assignment and Trade Contract work with any trust (yours or ours). Just upload it for verification and you're in. Our kit is only for people starting fresh.
You (the grantor) keep full control — you can amend, revoke, or move assets in and out freely. Recommended for trading because nothing is locked in.
Assets are locked in and the trustee owes fiduciary duties to the beneficiaries. Accepted, but a trade needs proof the trustee has authority to transfer the asset and that the trade benefits the trust.

That structure is exactly why the flat fee + non-custody + member-to-member model avoids broker, custody, and money-transmitter licensing. The trust documents are educational drafts — you finalize and execute them with your own licensed attorney, and you file titles/deeds/transfers yourself at the DMV, county recorder, or broker.

AEON provides
You do
AEON is not a party to any trade and never holds assets or funds. Trades are strictly member-to-member, at each member's own risk. AEON's verification is informational — not a guarantee of ownership, value, or clear title. You are responsible for your own due diligence. By trading, you release AEON from all claims arising from the transaction.
Full terms — including limitation of liability, indemnification, assumption of risk, and the class-action waiver — are in our Terms of Service. You agree to them by using this platform.
Answer a few questions and we draft a full trust declaration — 12 articles, a schedule of assets, a reusable funding form, and a beneficiary schedule. It's a real contract, not a two-paragraph stub. Educational drafting tool — you finalize with a licensed attorney.
Revocable = you keep control and can move assets freely (recommended for trading). Irrevocable = assets are locked in; a trade then needs proof the trustee has authority and that it benefits the beneficiaries.
FEE Trust drafting — $497 one-time. Adding assets afterward is free via 📥 Fund the Trust.
Download your draft above. It is a full starting document — not yet executed.
Have a licensed attorney review it in your state. They confirm it fits your goals and state rules.
Execute & sign. Grantor and Trustee sign in front of witnesses (where required).
Notarize it. A notary public stamps and signs the notary block — this is what makes it verifiable.
Get an EIN (if needed). Irrevocable or income-producing trusts get a free EIN from the IRS; a revocable living trust usually uses the grantor's SSN.
Go to the bank & fund it. Open an account in the trust's name using the EIN, then retitle each asset into the trust (deed, account title, vehicle title, beneficiary designation).
Upload the notarized trust in ✅ Verify Assets so AEON can scan it and run a legitimacy review.
Your trust is a bucket. You do not create a new trust (or pay again) every time you acquire an asset. You add it with a one-page Trust Funding Assignment — unlimited, free, reusable.
A trust can hold any number of assets. Each new asset is added by "funding" — an assignment document that moves title of that one asset into the trust's name. The trust itself stays the same. That's why you pay once for the trust, and never again for each asset.
Every tradeable asset must be proven real, owned by the trust, and unencumbered before a trade. Crypto is checked on-chain automatically; every other class has a document + human-review path. Pick an asset type to see exactly what's required and how it transfers.
Upload the notarized trust (and any asset proof documents) so AEON can scan and run a legitimacy review against the issuer/public records.
When two trusts swap assets, both parties sign a bilateral contract that spells out what each is transferring, the representations each makes, and the exact closing mechanics. This is the legal instrument behind the trade — not a casual "you trade me, I trade you."
Every step, with a concrete worked example: Alice's trust buys Bob's car with gold. This shows exactly how title, possession, and value actually move between two trusts.
You almost never pay for escrow. Every asset class has a free or near-free simultaneous-settlement path — the "no first-mover risk" guarantee comes from simultaneity, not from a paid middleman:
Atomic swap — one on-chain transaction (or HTLC). Instant, trustless, $0. Either both sides settle or neither does.
DTC / DRS transfer — brokers settle both sides simultaneously. $0 (brokers don't charge for account transfers).
Simultaneous wire / ACH between the two trust accounts. ~$0–30.
In-person simultaneous title sign-over at the DMV. DMV fee only (~$15–75).
Same-depository ledger transfer (both use the same vault) or in-person handoff. ~$0–small.
Licensed title/escrow company — the only class that needs paid escrow, because you need the title search + lien check + recording anyway. Fees are proportionate to a high-value asset.
Either way, no asset is ever released before the other side is secured — simultaneity (on-chain, broker, in-person, or depository) is the guarantee, written into the Trade Contract (Article IV).
Alice's trust holds 10 oz of gold (serial #G-2001, at ABC Depository). Bob's trust holds a 2019 Toyota Camry (VIN 4T1BF1FK4KU123456, title in Bob's trust name). They agree to swap. Here's how it actually closes.
Both trusts exist and are funded. Alice's gold is in her trust via a Funding Assignment (depository account re-titled). Bob's car is in his trust (title transferred at the DMV). No one creates a second trust.
Verify both assets. Alice's gold: depository receipt + assay + serial confirmed. Bob's car: title + VIN + no active lien confirmed. Both pass ✅ Verify Assets.
Sign the Trade Contract. They generate and sign a 🤝 Trust Exchange Agreement — Alice transfers gold, Bob transfers the car, each represents they own their asset free and clear.
Notarize the contract. Both trustees sign before a notary, so the swap is documented and enforceable.
Closing — the car. Bob signs the title over to Alice's trust at the DMV, with an odometer statement. The car is now titled in Alice's trust name.
Closing — the gold. Alice instructs ABC Depository to re-title her allocated gold account to Bob's trust (or delivers the bars by insured courier). The gold is now in Bob's trust's name.
Each files a Funding Assignment. Alice's trust adds the car; Bob's trust adds the gold. Both are free one-page forms — no new trust, no new fee.
Record the trade. Both confirm on the Guild Ledger — a hash commitment, private by default, revealed only for dispute resolution.
Update Schedule A. Each trust's schedule of assets now reflects the swapped asset, so the next trade is accurate and verifiable.
No bot or scripted account trades on AEON. Before any trade proceeds, you must pass a short human check.
Every member passes a one-time human verification at signup.
A fresh challenge is shown before each trade submission.
Rate limits and challenge expiry stop automated scripts.
