2. 1
We believe in challenging the status quo. We believe in thinking differently. We
believe in freeing beneficiaries and advisors giving them the power to choose.
We believe in your freedom.
The way we challenge the status quo is by breaking down the traditional rigid
trust company barriers and create a system of checks and balances, giving
families a voice in the administration of their financial affairs. This
revolutionizes the advisor and client relationship. Our trust services are
efficient, non-interruptive and easy to use.
We just happen to not compete against advisors, we go where you go (custodian
neutral), we operate in the state named the top trust jurisdiction over the last
decade and we have been named the second best company in America for
trustee services.
Why don’t we work together?
Everything we do...

3. 2
Wealth Advisors Trust Company was established to free advisors and trust beneficiaries
offering all the services of a traditional trust company. We are custodian neutral and do not
manage investment assets. Because each trust is structured with your clients’ specific goals
in mind, our administration services can be catered to make sure that those goals are
achieved.
Services include performing trustee and administration functions for a range of different
trusts. We have experience in all types of personal trusts, including living trusts (also called
revocable trusts), trusts under Wills (also called testamentary trusts), charitable trusts, special

4. 4
Challenging the status quo begins with the idea that the corporate trust company is no longer
the primary advisor. Now you are the primary manager of the relationship. No matter if,
when, how or where you move, we go where you go.
Creating a system of checks and balances requires a team of outstanding professionals.
Wealth Advisors Trust Company (“WATC”) recognizes that a client’s trusted advisor is an
integral part of the wealth management team. We work with the advisor to ensure that our
solutions are centered around their client’s needs. In fact, Wealth Advisors Trust Company, is
the only trust company to offer its Non-Compete Guarantee™ giving advisors confidence
that WATC will not compete with the advisor for asset management.
While many custodians, broker-dealers and brokerage firms are associated with
“independent” trust companies, independent does not automatically mean independence. An
advisor changing to a new custodian/broker-dealer may find the previous in-house trust
company does offer trust portability. Many valuable relationships have been lost because of
this.

a sophisticated
planning tool
in a simple,
cost-effective
format
More than half of Americans believe that their children and grandchildren will have
a lower standard of living compared to their parents. We see a much brighter future
for the coming generations. We believe one of the greatest gifts you can leave your children
and grandchildren are the same financial advantages that the “Pension Generation” has
enjoyed.
Wealth Advisors Trust Company has created the SmartIRA™; a revolutionary process which
converts IRA’s and ROTH IRA’s into accounts that can replace the impact of pensions and even
Social Security. It is tremendously sophisticated but surprisingly cost-effective and simple to
implement.
SmartIRA™ is the first custodian neutral trusteed IRA ever available to advisors. While many
families have used the SmartIRA™ to replace the impact pensions for their heirs others have
used it to prevent unintentional disinheritance, asset protection, distribution control and to
avoid high attorney fees. The SmartIRA™ is the most powerful planning tool since the
ROTH IRA.

grantor retained annuity trusts, QPRT’s, charitable remainder trust and charitable lead trusts.
