CHARLOTTE, N.C., Oct 17, 2000 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Xpedian, Inc. (OTC BB: XPDN)
announces the launch of full on-line estate planning through the newly
redesigned www.EstatePlanet.com, its premier online B2B Financial Services and

The development and launch of full estate planning modules for the state of
Florida is a critical step in Xpedian, Inc.'s strategy to establish itself as a
major Financial Services Brand along side firms like Merrill Lynch (NYSE: MER),
Bank of America (NYSE: BA), and Citigroup (NYSE: C).
Xpedian, Inc., plans to aggressively market their estate planning products
through EstatePlanet.com using print advertising, electronic mail and direct

Management believes that with the uniqueness of Xpedian's products and the
user-friendly nature of EstatePlanet.com, financial professionals will come to
rely on Xpedian to provide the information and support they need to be
successful.
Dale Chapman, President of Xpedian, Inc., says, "Since we announced our
intentions to provide estate planning services and documents on-line as an ASP
provider, we have been met with nothing but positive feedback and anticipation
from prospective clients. We knew all along that our largest groups of potential
users, CPA's, Certified Financial Planners and Lawyers wanted and needed the
full estate plan product. Our first product, Instrust.com proved the process and
allowed us to learn more about our market. We used that feedback as a guide in
re-designing our EstatePlanet.com website to make it even more user friendly.
Now, with the arrival of Full Estate Planning, we have a truly unique product
that can be infused into the portfolio of every financial service professional
in the country."
Xpedian's on-line tools allow independent and captive financial intermediaries
to render their clients an invaluable service often resulting in savings
thousands of dollars, while also helping the representative gain new clients and
retain a larger portion of his or her existing clients. Through the use of
Intelligent Interviewer(TM) technology EstatePlanet(TM) will be simple and user
friendly. Each interview is custom designed to fit the applicant's personal
situation.
"This approach is unparalleled in today's age of online insurance and brokerage
services. With our commitment and ability to provide these representatives with
state of the art technology and support, we believe that we will develop a
strong and loyal following," says Chapman.
Beginning on October 17, 2000, Xpedian will continue to improve and refine the
development of EstatePlanet.com into a state-of-the-art resource for information
covering all aspects of Estate Planning. This includes detailed explanations and
demonstrations of a complete array of Estate Planning techniques, printable
estate and financial plans, with a variety of case sensitive benefit scenarios
based upon various consumer profiles, detailed glossaries of Estate Planning
terminology, as well as access to Federal and State Tax Codes and printable
forms. "We expect additions to the site almost daily for the next few weeks,"
says Chapman, Xpedian's President.
Professional Referral Network: In addition to providing valuable insights and
information, the EstatePlanet.com website will act as a registration point for
financial professionals to receive customer referrals from clients interested in
developing a relationship with a local planner. As the system develops
professionals can log on and instantly deliver estate-planning information to a
customer through a first of its kind E-Direct Mailer(TM). Xpedian's estate
planning products and will provide a truly valuable resource and referral link
