# Luminary raises a $22M Series A for AI-powered estate-planning tools

> Luminary, a New York startup building AI-powered software for estate planning and wealth-transfer management, has raised a $22 million Series A led by Ten Coves Capital. It is aiming squarely at the advisers, lawyers, and family offices who manage how wealth moves between generations. Estate planning is document-heavy, rules-heavy, and expensive, exactly the kind of specialized professional work where AI that can draft, organize, and check filings can save real hours. Luminary's pitch is workflow tooling for that world rather than a consumer app. The round fits a broader pattern of investors funding vertical AI aimed at high-margin professional services, where clients already pay premium fees and even modest efficiency gains translate into clear dollar value. Wealth management, long slow to modernize, is now firmly in that crosshair.
