In 2003 Tess Lawson founded
The Family Trust &Tax Company and THE KUVASZ GUARDIAN CORPORATION after successfully defending herself and others (including a Toronto-based Credit Union) by quashing an unjustified lawsuit launched by a monolithic, but post 9/11-effected financing company under poor management.
 

Michael Hines CA  Trustee, CFO had Tess realize that  LIMITED LIABILITY equals 95% PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY and the only way to protect oneself where it matter most,  in The Law Courts, was to look to the judges and lawyers themselves – and do what they do to protect themselves.

When Tess Lawson tried to set up her own Family & Business Trust she discovered the Financial Planning Industry was missing an easy & affordable way to acquire a Legal Trust.  Tess decided to start a 'Logistics’' service for Legal Trusts with the small business and/or home owner sustainability, in mind.

MAY 2006 saw Scientia Technologies team up with The Family Trust &Tax Co. via an NRC Federal government grant that was awarded to The Family Trust & Tax Co.to develop an artificial intelligence method for the input of the Canadian Tax Act & Canadian Trust & Wills laws; a knowledge-base system that harnesses and brings the rubik's cube natue of Legal Trusts easily and affordably to the user - at the click of a mouse.
